Tekin RX8 BEC Problem?
 

I have been running an RX8/1900 T8 combo for the better part of two months in my RC8Be without issue. In addition to the Tekin stuff, i've also been running 1 Savox 1256 servo and an MRT transponder off of my Airtronics RX-451 receiver.

After yesterdays races, I noticed that I'm getting a low receiver voltage warning at the transmitter (it has telemetry) and that the receiver is losing the signal from the transmitter momentarily while steering etc. If I plug an external RX pack into the receiver everything is back to normal.

Does my BEC diagnosis seem correct? Could it be something else? I'm not looking forward to laying the car down in the middle of my clubs points series....:flaming:

Thanks in advance.

the problem i believe lies in those savox servos being power hungry. it causes a brown out which causes ur radio to lose sync. throw on a novak glitch buster (which i believe has one of the higher capacitances in the rc market place)j and i believe that will solve the issue.

+1 on glitch buster. I had the same problem and installed spektrums version of the glitch buster and it works great now. I could get my tekin RS or RSpro to throw the low power code after swapping the steering back and forth real fast... sometimes it would glitch and others it would just lose connections and sit for 1-2 seconds.

Simple fix, rather cost effective as well. You could just as easy but a capacitor and wire it up yourself but the novak and spektrum ones are reasonable enough that I didn't think it worth the hassle to save three or four bucks.
