Bec help!
I went to the races today and had a problem that prevented me from racing. I have an sc10 with a spektrum sr300 receiver and the castle sidewinder sct esc motor combo. After building the truck I had an issue that shut the receiver off due to the castles sidewinder bec not being powerful enough, so I installed a capacitor spm1400 and that solved my issue. Now today I bought a y adapter and plugged in the capacitor and my laps transponder into the adapter. Apparently the capacitor wasn't strong enough for the transponder because with that plugged in I had the same issues as before I installed the transponder. Fortunately I had a castle external bec in my kit that i never used so i soldered on the bec and removed the red wire from the esc to receiver just like instructions said. The issue now is the throttle response is really rough. I hold partial trigger and the truck sits there and jiggles until I give it about half throttle. Wtf, I'm stumped. If I remove the bec and plug everything back In the way it was before today (capacitor only) everything is smooth and fine. Should I sell this castle junk and switch to the tekin rs ( which I have no issues with in my losi 22)? Please help.
Thanks |
have you tried ditching the capacitor and only running the bec with your esc?

Thanks They did replace it but it took a long time. I just put a tekin in all my cars and don't regret it. The price is a little high but you won't regret it and its some quality stuff. |
Thanks guys!

Thanks guys!
I had similar problems with an e buggy running brake and steering servos. Glitches everyone so often, added a bec and out of no where did the same as above described. I just picked up an 3100 to give that a shot. |
