Default Castle BEC, Holmes RX bypass not working

Hey Guys, just got a Holmes Hobbies servo, rx bypass and a castle BEC.

I can plug the servo into the receiver and it works no problems.

I have soldered the BEC to the ESC Power and Ground.

Plug bypass into receiver and the red/black to servo and the other to the BEC and the servo does nothing...

I tested and am getting 7.32V on the black/red going to servo

See pictures below at the link

Please help......

Looks like you need to swap the plugs. The plug with three wires needs to go the servo so it can get signal from the RX

maybe I am misunderstanding it, the BEC plugs into 1 female and the servo goes into the female with Red/Black and the yellow black goes to the receiver??

the idea of the Y plug was to move the Red power directly to the Servo I thought, I had one of these on a truck 5 years ago but I cant remember and I have been out of RC for 5 years lol

I thought about what you were saying again and it dawned on me that the ervo side needed to be into the 3 wire female and the bec side into the 2 wire female as just like you said the servo was getting no signal.....



thanks sinister
