Default Novak Crusher intermittant shut down

I just installed a New Novak Crusher 21.5 combo in my Deadbolt. It runs really nice, lots of control, no stutter, crawls really slow BUT, it shuts down every so often. It will sit for just a minute then start back up.
I have changed radios to see if it was a signal problem. No difference.
I am running a Savox servo on the Novak internal BEC. It is supposed to be 5amps at 6v. The system is running on 3s.

Anybody have a clew what is going on here? Do I need an external BEC ?

Thanks for any help

Get the bec. Internals always blow. Especially NOVAK internals. This is all explained in the "YES, YOU NEED AN EXTERNAL BEC!!!" thread. And that's about as nice as i can be about that.

Just added a CC BEC. I'll check tomorrow to see if it changed the situation.

Just a question: WTF is up with manufacturers and this BEC shit? They all know the BEC circuit in their ECS's suck. When is someone gonna make an ESC with a REAL BEC for us crawlers?

Castle, Novak & others, WTF? It's not like you don't know your current BECs suck.

I have a Novak Crusher and 21.5t on my Wraith. I have used it about 6 times with a BEC installed. On my last run it shut down and shortly later came back on. Just now I went to run and it wouldn't start up at all, thought I lost bind but after fiddling with the receiver everything came back online until I started to run and quickly shut down again. Never came back online though. Has one steady and one flashing LED. No definition in the instructions what this means.
