|  $#!& not again!
Ok, something isn't right with my setup.:-( I'm running a Mamba 25 with a Spectrum REC, Hitec 5955TG (steering), Futaba 3305 (dig), UBEC, and powered by a IB4200 battery.......It all started when I smoked 2 servos in 1 day, so I forked out the $$$ for a 5955TG and it was working great noticed it getting prety warm so I shut it down. I threw a battery in it last night and noticed it wasnt turning to well, so I shut it down and disconected the UBEC and put the BEC wire back into the REC and tryed it without the UBEC and I couldn't even turn the tires without it glitchen and shutting down, any ideas on what the problem is and is the BEC not strong enough for just 1 5955TG servo?  |

The Mamba's BEC doesn't flow enough amps for that servo. How many cells are you running? More than 6 makes the BEC even weaker. |

What BEC eliminator are you using? Have you measured the voltage it's putting out? |
