4ws problem..

[resetpunk]

ok guys i just installed 4ws on my wk..im using 2 towerpro 946R servos with tq3 n traxxas receiver...when i turn left on the rear servo and i hold down the throttle the truck completely stops and i have to turn the swich on the esc off and then back on to get it to work again..i am thinking that the servo is drawing to much power from the esc and it shuts the esc down but idk thats y im asking

Yup, I'd say that's a big 10-4.

If you don't want to get a new esc that is capable of more power just yet, another option is to go with an external bec to power your servos. Like This

X2 Even though I only run 1 5995, I still run the external BEC. JRH can also set it to the voltage that you want. ;)

I had similar "symptoms" when I ran two TowerPro MG945s off my Moped Esc - except that my servos would lock in one direction until I shut the rig down or waited a while for the electronics to recover. I now have the CC BEC (with the voltage set to 6.2) and I've never have this problem - servos locking - since then.
