Im having problems with my brand new MMM i just put in yesterday. It is working fine with just the esc plugged into the reciever and the motor runs fine but when the steering servo or brake servo is plugged in it just seems to have a fit and nothing will work as the reciever lights flash on and off and the servo's twitch.
I have tryed differant servo's, differant reciever's and checked all conections on the esc but nothing seems to change it.
I removed the red power wire from the plug on the esc and put a external bec on the reciever and found everthing works fine this way even with both brake and steering servo's in.
So im guesing the internal bec has a problem any other ideas. Forgot to mention the survo's are not connected to the steering or brake so there is no load on them.

Definitely sounds like a BEC issue to me. However, if you can, try getting a BEC current reading of the servos running. They could simply be pulling a lot of current.
I have tryed 3 servo's rainging from a 3kg standard cheep plastic one upto a 24kg hitec one and none of these were connected to the car at the time so there is no load on them.
