Default POSSIBLE FOR BROWN OUT WITH MMP WITH EXTERNAL BEC ?

ive been chasing this problem for over a month now.

my electronics :
esc: mmp
castle external bec
spektrum 6030 servo
castle 1410 motor
spektrum DX3C
muchmore motor fan
amb transponder
spektrum sr300 receiver

the esc was new a moth ago. i went to a big race and experienced my truck shutting on and off.it would shut off for a couple of seconds and come back on. i thought 100% it was a brown out. so i installed a castle bec.

worked fine for a bit and started doing it all over again. bought another receiver. worked fine for a bit and started doing it again...

called castle and they replaced the esc.. i went to a big race this weekend with new esc w/bec installed. worked good till 4rth round and it shut off again. marshal took it off the track and by the time i got to it it was back on. (oh and the on/off switch has been removed before all this)

i checked all wiring,connection nothing would make the truck shut off by wiggling them. also this has happened with two different packs, both good packs.

talked to a guy at the shop and he said that even with the bec the spektrum receivers have a hard time flowing the power. he said mine could be intermittent like it is because i have the BEC and it helps but doesnt cure the problem. he told me to i should still run a glitch buster.

has anyone still had a brown out problem like this ? im running out of patients . also running out of areas to put all this extra crap in my truck. all the ports in my esc are taken up and iam running a "Y" harness already.

any ideas and or tricks ?

thanks.
