Hi im over in the uk and have a rs10 and have already got the wing removel from zno and ordered the bullseye low profile chassis already running metal gear servos and a stick batterey.I would like to run a bec but dont know what one. Im new to the rc game and any help would be good.And is there anything i can do to stop the front wheels from lifting when going over rocks and making it roll backwards like i say im new to the game.Thanks

Welcome to the forum. For the wheels, you can add weight to the front wheels to help combat the crawler wanting to flip over backwards. BB's or stick-on lead weight both work, just a matter of what's available to you.

I'd recommend the Castle Creations external BEC. Here's a link, although I'd search for other stores that may have better pricing/shipping to the UK.

Well, BEC stands for Battery Eliminator Circuit. Basically what is does is route more voltage from your battery straight to your servo, instead of going through the ESC first. The result of that is more steering torque from the servo, especially if you have a nice high torque servo.
