Default Castle Electronics are acting up?

I was drivin my TTC rig (roughly 12lbs) when my CC BEC Died. I then plugged up another one and it worked for a while. Then it just gradually slowed down and lost power, then I only had just a tad bit of power to reverse that was it. Then it all died. Then my Side winder ESC It just made a continous beep, beep, beep. But I still had my BEC working as I had steering to both axles. I tried to plug it all up to my Castle link, and it never would connect. I trouble shooted the castle link and even looked at there website and did the BEC, and the Side winder 3 times and it never would work right.

HEre's my electronics

How do you have your BEC and ESC wired?

I have the BEC wired into the ESC through the battery plugs.

I assume that is the BEC input, where does the output go....to the RX or direct to the servo?
If to the RX, did you disconnect the ESC to RX red wire??

Did you try charging the battery?

It sounds like the ESC low voltage cut off kicked in, I had it happen with my MMP. The servo and dig servo aren't governed under the LVC cut off, so they'll continue to function, the ESC will start to show signs that it's cut off has kicked in. Check your battery.
