|  ESC Super Hot OK guys, I need some help. My POS crawler king doesnt move very well any more. It will run for about 5 sec, and then the LED on the ESC will shut off, then about 5 secs later, it will turn back on. It will do that forever! I took the tires and body off and set it in the table propped up to test run it and it did the same thing. I touched the ESC and it was super hot. Do I need a new ESC? or is it something else. |

Nothing else is hot, but I dont think it is my ESCany more. When I unhook the servo I have no problems, same thing when I hook the stock servo up. I have a T-Pro MG 946 servo, it is wheni hook that up everything goes crazy. Would a BEC help this?

Yes, exactly, a BEC will help. It seems you're taxing the internal BEC for all its worth.
