Default CC BEC + Servo?

I recently installed a Savox 1258tg and it was glitchin, so i picked up a CC Bec. this is before i knew about glitch busters. Ive got the Bec hooked and the servo is working great. but theres something about the CC diagram that just doesn't seem right.. http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...ec_wiring.html this is how i got it hooked up. is this how i wanna hook it up for use with a servo? when i get done with a run and turn the controller and the ESC off, it still has power to the servo. BTW i have a castle monster. but if i unplug the batt then plug it back in, the servo has no power. doing a search i did find something about a Y-plug but didnt really get it. if someone has a link with a diagram that would be great..thank you

What reciever are you using ?

What voltage do you want to run your servo at ?

If you are only planning to run your servo at 6v then connecting the ccbec to your reciever will work fine

If your reciever can handle more than 6v then you can wire it the same way

If you want to run more than 6v and your reciever cannot handle it you need to wire it up a little differently

Using a servo 'y' cable is a very easy way to connect the ccbec into your system, I do that for all of mine

This diagram will assist with how it works





Cheers

This is the other way to connect with the ccbec powering the servo only

This is pretty much the same way I have mine.
Except I left the black/ground wire in on the receiver, I found that without it, it glitches like mad.
And I left all 3 wires in the plug on the BEC, I don't think there is a need to remove it I.

My receiver can handle the extra voltage but I prefered this way (directly powering the servo) because I don't need to keep plugging in and removing the ESC pin to adjust settings (HW Xerun).
