|  More electronic issues
A few weeks ago i smoked my fxr. So this time around I bought the hh br-xl esc. I have a bec wire in the cc way. everthing seemed to work great. Today when I was crawling, I got it in a pretty good bind and every thing started gliching real bad. I unpluged the battery and plugged it back in and every thing seemed fine. Then when i turn the servo (holding truck in the air) every thing started to glich again. When the gliching takes place the bec light flashes on and off. I don't know what to do. I would appreciate any help. Thanks. Specs: scx10 SR300 receiver HH BR-XL HH 35t ccbec @6v Jr z9100t servo 8.4v nimh RC4wd bulldog 9300 winch Last edited by V3500; 04-06-2011 at 06:41 AM.

Do you have the red wire pulled from your ESC plug??

I did. I did some more researching today. CC website says that there is an excessive amp draw or to much voltage. I checked my battery. Battery was at 6.5v. Is my servo pulling to many amps? I thinking that maybe it started because the battery was getting low? Do I need to wire bec direstly to the servo? Last nite I hooked up a S200 servo and it did the same thing. Here the cc link. Thanks for the help. http://www.castlecreations.com/suppo...ec.html#ccbec2 | |

I like to run my servos directly wired....I use a y harness with a few of the wires removed.

If this issue remains unresolved you could simply eliminate the external BEC from the equation. The BR-XL has a more than adequate internal to handle your set up. |

I would say it could be a few things: Bad CCBEC weak battery bad servo, drawing too much I would second the notion of trying to remove the CC BEC from the situation and see what happens. |

I removed the cc bec. Charged the battery. It was little better. Now when I power the servo, I can hear (and see) the motor engages just ever so little. I plugged the spektrum s200 servo in and powered, motor didnt make a noise. I am still stumped. I guess I will try and wire bec directly to servo. I would appreciate any and all advise. Thanks. Is there a way to check servo? Check and see what it is drawing. Thanks |

Now I am really stumped. I soldered back in the bec, and hooked it up thru the receiver (just like it was yesterday). I worked great. So now I am thinking it just didn't like the battery being low. That is the only difference from then to now. Any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure Becs need a certain % of voltage over what you have it set at in the main pack to work efficiently. Maybe by you main pack being that low in voltage it was under what the bec needed to actually run it. |
