CC BEC Failures

[starscream]

Well, I fried 3 (yes 3) analog servos last night
I guess the 3rd times a charm...
So, to get to the point, I found that my CC BEC was no longer regulating the voltage from my 4S battery so I was powering my JR Micro receiver at 15+ volts. My digital steering servo survived and so did my speed control but my analog brake servo went bezerk each time I powered the system. What confused the issue was that I had been running the system for quite a while before this happened so I was unsure what had changed.

So, if you power up your system and your analog servo goes nuts, check the voltage from your BEC first

Anyway, I figured I post this in case anyone else runs into this issue. Maybe my experience can help save someone else from frying more servo's than neccessary
