The internal BEC in the RX8 seems to be the weakpoint in the design as i have seen numerous failures in the BEC.

I am going to have to play with it a bit to make sure i get everything wired neatly, but i feel in the long run i will be rewarded with a much faster/stronger steering servo response, as well as a much healthier RX8

LOL i do it often in my 1/10, not sure if i will be able to do it in this car or not, but what the hell, if it's possible this servo will be able to
