Hi,

I have an ESC that has 5V, 1A BEC, but it doesn't seem to be enough for my BlueBird 630MG servo because everytime I turn the wheels on a surface that's got even a little bit of grip the ESC shuts down for a short while.
I corrected the problem with 1100mAh hump pack, but it only lasts for ~45minutes (my other main battery is 2S 3300mAh LiIon and 2S 1800mAh LiPo, so you can guess the problem).

Anyway, would this http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...&cat=13&page=1 correct the current shortage problem? How do I connect it as it seems to have two "free" wire ends?

That would solve your BEC problem, but I'm not sure how they're installed exactly. I would think it would include some sort of instruction sheet though. I keep meaning to get one of these myself...

That voltage regulator will only provide 3amps. Think about if that is enough or not.

I would suggest this one: MPI ACC234

It will provide up to 16 amps with a 7.2 V input.

Here's how to install it. VR install

I'm just suggesting that you consider what kind of upgrades you might go to in the future that might require more amperage.

You can't go wrong with the ACC234, and you can adjust the output voltage to whatever you want, as long as it is 1v lower than the input voltage.

Thanks guys. Maybe I'll just grab one of those then.
