General Electronics Help
Vehicle: HPI Apache C1 Flux – Stock electronics.
Vehicle stopped working. Fresh batteries - no lights on ESC, no power to receiver or servo…nothing. I tested each component separately and verified all working ok. So I decided to put a receiver battery in the “bat” port on the receiver and everything came to life and was working properly. WTF…what would cause this to happen? Why am I not getting any power from the main batteries/ESC to the receiver? The only thing I could think of was that maybe the BEC circuit in the receiver is bad?
Any insight would be appreciated, Thanks!

Yes. I had to do that on my RX8 in my 1/8 buggy. Castle makes a 10A version for about $20
