I can try to post some up. I have the red and black wire from the bec connected to the red and black on the rx. On the rx adapter side I have the servo plugged into the side that has the white red and black and the bec into the side that has the red and black wire. The bec light is on but have no power to the servo. I have tried switching the servo and bec wires but still no power.

Try not using the rx bypass and see if the servo works then the bypass is most likely faulty.

Hummm....that looks wired up correctly to me.

So it will work if you just plug the servo directly into the receiver?

I just plugged the servo back into the rx just to check it again and it works fine. Plugged the bec with adapter and nothing.

Then I would say that something is wrong with that adapter.

Not sure about the plug. It's brand new and after looking it over it looks fine.

I just checked the bec with a volt meter and I'm getting 6 volts out of it. Ill take a picture of the adapter itself to see if anyone knows if its word right.

Tried to take a picture but its just too small. Here is how its wired there's a black jumper between plugs wi a black wire coming out to the rx plug. There is a red jumper in the middle from plug to plug and then on the last side there is one white wire coming out by itself. Hope all that makes since. Would really like to get this figured out
