Default RE: My Axial AX10 crawler project


ORIGINAL: gixxernoob

Up next is the ESC... The AX10 stock ESC is bogging down on servo and dig load...

I doubt if changing the ESC will help you with the servo and dig bogging down. The problem with the stock Axial and 95% of the stock ESC's including that Traxxas, is that the internal BEC is set really fricken low. Sometimes they are only 4.8 volts.......If you want to remedy that problem for good, you need to install an external BEC that will supply all your servos with a constant 6v(or whatever your servos needs are. Some BEC's can do a lot higher). There are many threads on here for instructions on how to install a BEC and they are dirt cheap(usually around $10). I use one from my Helicopter in my Scaler and it works just as good as one made specific for cars, ir by a company that only makes cars.....WARNING: Never set the BEC higher than your servos can handle....

If you need assistance, I will post more..
