Default Steering servo cutting out!

I have a new hi-tec 7950th steering servo with a castle bec connected to it. both are brand new. And it is cutting out off and on!
Anybody have any ideas?
Its on an Axial Wraith

Thanks

1-What voltage is the BEC set for? (stock is 5 volts)
2-Are your servo end points set so you're not binding the linkage?
3-Does the throttle still work when the servo quits?

1. 7.1
2. have not checked that out
3. yes
I think I may have found the problem.
I beleive the bec does not have a good connection. I am going to cut the
heat shrink and check the connection.
I appreciate the response and reminding me to set the end points.
Thanks!

I have had several Castle becs' come unsoldered for me so its a likely solution to your issue.
