Thank you, checking that out. That is cheap alternative for sure!

Are you sure it's hooked up right?
BEC is spliced/soldered into the ESC battery connections, and is plugged into the BATT terminal in the receiver (even tried it in the AUX terminal, same crap), ESC is plugged in with its' red power wire unplugged. Can't imagine it's any less simple. But I do agree, I have a problem elsewhere. I suppose, in the meantime, I'll peel off the heat shrink and have a look at my BEC-to-ESC battery connection. It might be possible I have a cold solder there. I'm better at soldering now than I was then, so that could be it.
BTW, I am running SMC 6500 70C batteries. Shouldn't be a problem with power delivery. And, I'm feeding the Savox all the power it can handle.
I'll look at anything you guys suggest.
That is why I'm getting so upset about it. I've heard and read enough remarks about older Spektrum equipment and Savox. Heck, A-Main even includes a footnote about Savox servos in their description: *NOTE: Certain combinations of receiver and ESC have been found to cause "Brown Out" issues when combined with Savox servos. An external BEC, or BEC stabilizing receiver capacitor may be needed for efficient, glitch free operation in low voltage electric applications.
I bought my servo from a hobby shop on impluse because my stocker fried. I wouldn't have bought one if I had read that or been told about it.
