Default Steering Servo Glitching w/ Throttle

I tried searching and really couldn't find anything helpful. With my servo plugged into the CC BEC I'm getting a lot of glitching when I apply any throttle. With the servo plugged directly into the receiver it does not glitch at all. Any suggestions?

feed your receiver with the BEC and remove the red wire from your esc going to the receiver. this will solve it. my MRC done the same thing. my 2.2 sportsman rig doesnt have that problem (yet) so now I have my castle BEC wired in two different ways on two different setups. works fine. best thing, you dont need to mod your servo wiring, since the bec feeds the rec and servo both. your lipo will feed your esc by itself. should clean it right up!

Will it still be safe to use the 7.4v BEC setting with this setup and not harm the Rx? I'm assuming (I know, ASS out of U and ME ) I plug the BEC into the battery channel on the Rx?

This is the best way to wire your BEC.

thats how my original wiring went on my sportsman. BEC amped up the servo only.

if you get glitches, like tight quarters on an MRC and little to no room for spacing out your electronics, i had to feed the rec and servo 6v from the bec.

if he feeds over 6v to the rec, it might either not like it releasing the magic smoke, or choke it down to the voltage it wants possibly. im not sure about input voltages on recs tho, how much they can handle...

This is how I had it wired and it is glitching, I tried ClassicGMJunkie's suggestion (w/ 6v from the BEC) and it works fine. The Rx is rated for 3.5v-9.6v. so I theoretically should be ok to set the BEC to 7.4v, correct?

YEARS AGO I figured out that the arms/knuckles bouncing around were causing glitches...I put small oring on each side of the knuckles and the glitching went away.....stray ground power..
