what servo, esc and truck do you have???

i have this issue running 2 servos with my esc, if im turned to full lock front and back the truck wont drive. as soon as i let off the rear steer it runs just fine. i believe in my case the bec in the esc cant supply the current to hold the 2 servos at full lock.

Sounds to me like you guys need a Castle BEC.

It's just about a given that any crawler needs an external BEC unless they use the new Torque master ESC. These "my ESC shuts down" threads are asked almost daily.

Would an external BEC still be better than running an internal BEC?

In most cases YES

I took the advice and got a CC BEC. Took a little while to wire it up properly, but I did figure it out. I took it for a test drive and noticed a marginal difference. The ESC no longer takes a S!!it when I'm in a bind, but the steering is not much stronger if any. Any suggestions?

So, I took my servo apart and made sure everything is running well and lubed everything. Put it back together and now I have strong responsive steering.

it can happen with any type of battery not just lipo, just most esc's that can handle 3s lipo need a bec to keep the temps down

No , a BEC is needed . I run what I think is the best ESC [Tekin RS Pro] and the internal BEC is not enough . I didn`t think I needed one but once I threw in a 3S lipo it was very obvious .
