Thanks !
I would recommend it. Running an external BEC in 1/8th scale and 4wd SC alleviates so many issues. Besides preventing brown outs, an external BEC (Castle specifically) let's you bump up the voltage going to the RX/servo. A good test is look at your personal transponder light when you turn the wheels on the ground. If it flickers then the build in BEC in the ESC is not up to snuff.
