Oh for sure, most people wouldn't bother with a rx pack, especially for bashers, as a shutdown or hiccup is not going to cost you a top place (only parts if it crashes

).

I didn't know Brian was making a fail safe, is there a link to a thread? I must have missed it. But for me, a failsafe is not going to help the fact that the BEC just shut down, twice in 3 mins.

Unless... BrianG, could it have been the Receiver that reset? I suddenly had no steering servo no throttle, nothing, then brought it in, re-plugged it, did half a lap and it did it again. Put a different pack on it, and I finished the rest of the race without incident, but in 4th place, instead of 2nd.

What do you think?

Could the BEC have overheated? As it is packed tight into the left side Revo servo box with the receiver. It is the Pro BEC, S&T gave it to me when I fried my first Quark.

I just like the idea of running off a dedicated battery for communications. Plus the thing really is tiny, slightly larger than a standard servo.
