The reciever light will go out and I have no steering or throttle. If I let it sit in the neutral position for a second or two the receiver light comes back on and I have power again.

I was testing my buggy in front of my house and I lost all power, letting the buggy "wander" right into the curb. No way to turn or even brake. This is un-useable as is right now.

I am just using a Bluebird 175oz/in servo. Nothing overkill. My other MMM takes my Hitec 7950-TH no problems. I am just kinda pissed right now. I went and bought a capacitor to try and put it in the empty Batt slot on my reciever to see if this helps the issue.

Does this sound like a Bad BEC to anyone. I dont want to have to send this unit in, and wait at least 3 weeks to be able to drive my RC. I just got this!

Zippy,

Do you have another servo you can swap out to see if it might be a bad servo?

Thanx!

Yes I have a few. I will swap em tonight and do a few tests...

It was running fine last race. BUT I was using a reciever pack and a Mamba Max without BEC. Soooo.... I will report back tonight. Thanks Patrick!
