The BEC should not allow the servo to drain anything past it's maximum output, which is probably 6v.

I feel like your going to find your problem somewhere else within the solder joints or the ESC circuitry it's self.
A friend of mine had a bad post connection to the main board in his ESC and his cut out similar to what your experiencing.
Keep me posted as to what you find. I feel for ya, cause it's really irritating when stuff like this happens. It's like playing the lottery to get a solid setup these days.
I messed with it some more last night. Put the exact same settings that Tebo has on his. (0 drag brake and 11.25* timing were the 2 settings different from what I was running.)I also re-soldered everything, added a glitch buster and shortened the wired on the cap banks for the ESC. i'm not one to bash but i took the car outside and ran a battery that was at 53% down to 13* over the course of 6 mins. Everything seemed to work fine. I will get to the track either tomorrow night or Friday to test there as that is where I will find out for sure.

Sweet, maybe you fixed the problem with the reworking of things.
Hope it all goes well and your able to get some racing in without the problems.

Yes, odd issue. After I posted, multiple users said the same thing. Read back the last 8 pages or so.
