Brownouts happen when your current draw exceeds the BEC current capabilities, you need to minimize current draw to avoid them.
Thanks for all the info. I'll definitely just stick with 6v and hope that my ESC BEC is good enough to take the savox servo. If not I can swap it with my xpert servo which has been rock solid
