Problems with brushless truggy

Yeah, I will probably get the CC BEC like you said, will I need to go to 6V or would I be OK at 5V?

Well I'm running 5v right now, didn't know thats how the CC BEC came stock, that's kinda dumb if you ask me, but I'm sure there's a reason for it. Anyway, it seems to be enough for my Revo, traxxas 2055 (80 oz) brake servo and a hitec 645 (133 oz) steering servo, no problems.

5V would be OK. You will just be missing some of the oomph the servo might have. I prefer running 6v just to get all of the power I can out of the servos. In a truggy you pretty much want as much as you can get.

In reality all you need to do is find someone that has the CastleLink and you can change it to 6v and you will probably never need to touch it again.
