The external CC BEC most likely has more current rating, and is voltage programmable, so it should have no trouble powering the servo. The downside is the extra wiring required. And yes, just remove the red wire from the ESC.

Keep in mind that removing the red wire from the ESC throttle cable will make programming the ESC more difficult. If the red wire is permanently removed, the only way to program the ESC would be to power it up with at least 2s lipo/6 cells while the Castle Link is hooked up. Options to get around this limitation:

- Make it so the red wire can be re-inserted easily.

- Use a short servo extension with the red wire removed. This would leave the ESC cable unmodified.
