How to fix a weak BEC?
Hello i have a LRP QC2 and a Ko propo PDS-2413ICS servo. The problem is if i turn the steering too fast, it will suck too much power, and will shutdown my receiver (spektrum) and go back to neutral . I don't have a spare 4cell pack to test if it really is the BEC, but i've tested in with a LRP V7.1 and it works perfectly fine.
So is there any easy fix for this? and no i don't want to use a receiver pack as i bought to servo to save space and weight not gain...any help will be appreciated thanks

I have had exactly the same problem with the QC2 and a JR servo. I have mounted a 10v 6800uf cap and also have made a voltage regulator that powers the servo directly from the battery 7.2v. Here is a pic More details on the bottom of this link.

The regulator is an LM7806 about $2. The input is connected to the positive of the battery 7.2 v . The centre is connected to your battery negative and negative input of the servo and the output of the regulator is connected to the input of your servo 6v. The battery voltage is reduced down to 6v and is connected directly to your servo. You may need to connect two or three in parallel to give you more amps 1 reg = 1 amp. 3 in parallel = 3 amps.
It is very simple to make and weighs next to nothing

you can also buy the Novak nitro servo regulator or anything similar:
