Rebind your reciever and transmitter, and all will be well.

Also, replace the tx batts

I was just having the same issue with the steering twitching when using the throttle. I had my BEC wired to supply power to the servo only and not the receiver. I just changed the wiring so that it is wired according to the diagram on CC's website and now everything is working fine. Not sure how yours is wired but I just thought pass what I did along.

Yeah that's the way I had mine wired. Try disconnecting your bec all together and try running it and see if the problem goes away. If it does then re-install the bec according to this diagram:

man I had the same thing happen while back on my sond axial
ht 645 servo.cc bec and a sidewinder
servo worked good at a stand still

give it full throttle and the wheels turned all the way to the right.
I blamed it on a bad servo motor.
I put in a jr 9100 and all was good.

sure is frustrating though.

yes very frustrating, ok, i took the bec off and it seems to be fine now, will it be ok to not run the bec? or is it necessary?

i would run it with the bec if you are using a full size servo cause the servo will draw alot of power away from your motor so when you turn and need to gas it, you wont have the wheel speed that you would need.

Yes definitely run it. The ESC's internal BEC is very weak. Just wire it up like it says on their site and you should be golden.
