bec needed?

[brado]

Hi guys.
I was out crawling the last few days and my car keeps turning off? Only when im in full steering lock and full throttle. Its really annoying! Then my intergy brushed 55t started smoking!
I do have a new tekin 35t but don't want to fry it lol.
Esc is a tekin frx? And servo is servo safe. Any ideas. Bec? What one?

Thats what it sounds like but i don't know why your motor would be smoke'n

[Lentsnh2012]

A Castle Creations BEC will solve the intermittent turning off when your steering and gassing it at the same time.

The motor smoked probably because your gearing is all wrong or your motor was incredibly dirty. What is your gearing? Also, what battery are you running and what vehicle do you have?

EDIT: I type entirely to slow...
sounds like you do need a bec. Castle 10A should work fine.

what has me concerned is that smoked motor.

could have been caused by the frequent power drops, which would be fixed by adding the bec and the tekin motor you already have.

could have been the motor going bad causing issues in the esc, and therefore shutting down power to the truck. new motor and bec should fix this as well, but would question whether esc has been damaged in this case

could have been an issue with the esc going bad, dropping power and frying the motor. motor and bec wont fix the esc, and could fry the new motor too

then it could have just been a little dust in the motor that caused the smoke (if it was very light smoke) and you just need a bec

The nice answer is, a castle creations 10amp bec, set at 6volts. Bout 20$. But my answer is, did ya see the sticky near the top of this forum? The one that reads "YES, YOU NEED AN EXTERNAL BEC!!!"?? READ IT.

Thanks guys. Its geared at 14t 87t. I run 3s lipo.
Where is the cheapest place to get a bec?
Also yes I did read the other topic on bec but I got confused hhaha.

[old man 52]

Rpp has them for 19.99

Also my motor sounds very loud now. But only under strain. Its possible its dirty as I go through deep mud and water. But I always clean it after a run in water or mud

[brado]

Can I ask what rpp stands for? Sorry for my question

[old man 52]

The bearings don't like that at all , May want to get yourself a new one of those when you make your order.
