Ok, today i tried to setup my CR-01 with rear steer. The only problem i encountered was that the new servo for the reer steer was glitching. The front steer servo was operating as normal.

Do i need to install a BEC for the rear servo only? or do i need to install one for both? And if so, how do i do it?

And where can i get a BEC from here in Aus, or do i need to order one for O/S?

I have a 3 channel 2.4ghz radio setup with toggle switch for front steer, both steer, crab steer or rear steer only.

Im also running a Novak Rooster ESC with 55turn novak brushed combo.

NiMh batteries too.

Cheers, Alan.

I would go with a castle creations bec, 2 if your using 2 steering servos, get the castle link so you can adjust all the values including working voltage!, vastle makes the best damn b.e.c's

Joat, the original front steer servo works fine at the moment, so can i run that as normal and just run the BEC for the rear servo only?

Get a 10amp Castle BEC. You will only need 1 to drive both servos.

Just remember to cut the red wire on your rooster(or buy a servo extension and cut the red wire on that therefore preserving your rooster`s cabling)

IF you dont cut the red wire, and use a seperate BEC as well you stand a very good chance at letting all of the smoke out of the servo`s and or the receiver!

Don`t cut the wire , just remove it from the plug and either heat shrink or tape back on the lead . Never know if your gonna need it again .
