I was reading in a different thread that the Savox servo's need a B.E.C. That true there bud? Never had experience with savox but have caught interest sometimes.

They do with low output internal BECs, like those found in Castle ESCs. It depends on the ESC, the servo and application. I was very surprised to be having brownouts with no load from a 1258tg in a 1/10th 4wd truck when used with a Mamba Max Pro. This particular combination needs a BEC, others may not. As the saying goes, your mileage may vary.

The TTR stock ESC I believe is the hobbywing 150A pro unit which has a 5A BEC, probably adequate just about. Ask him if he's ever had any glitching, particularly when the steering is being strained. I also wonder if he did get a BEC if he would see significantly better performance from the servo. In 1/8th cars, a bec is just a good idea.

First, you open the package, then when you've removed the shiny electric bit, you see that papery bit you discarded? Read it!

I see that the Savox servo's take up to 6v. does that mean that 7v is too much for it?

RE: Ofna LX2e From Start 2 Finish
Haha well 1st run made it about 10 feet (I am sooo Pissed right now [:@]). i got the motor on and everything but i noticed that the Gear mesh was funny. Cause it was fine and about half of the spur but then when it hit a certain amount of teeth it would act like it was to tight. so i redid the gear mesh over 5 times and every time the same thing happened. so i just left it a little loose. and the i set it on the ground and it made it about 10 feet before eating the spur. Just ate it right up for some reason. And i don't know why (But I AM PISSED [:@]). I really hope ofna will replace it. But can anyone tell me why this could happen?????

RE: Ofna LX2e From Start 2 Finish
had that issue with an RC once. I couldn't get the mesh proper no matter what it would be perfect then turn and be too tight adjust again perfect turn it a bit and then strip the spur same way
something was funky with the pinion, motor, or spur I had I'm not sure which cause I gave up on the RC for ages than had a new motor, and pinion laying around threw em in and no issues.. also dunno what I did to the parts I had on my one so I could never test which was the issue(and seeing the spur was trashed, I replaced that too).
