    TRX-4 build questions

    So, I'm planning on buying a TRX-4 Defender. I've read that the servo isn't good and that if I change the servo I should really get a BEC.

    Stand alone winch system with its own BEC?

    I'm working on a winch setup for my TRX-4 and the most straight forward way to do it is with the wireless controllers due to the transmitter setup. I also chose an SSD OX winch which is 3s capable. The wireless controller I chose (HeyOk) is said to be 3s capable but I've read their comments...

    AE-5 ESC with CC BEC

    Hi, I'm new to this forum and waiting for my SCX10 crawler to arrive (ordered used).

    Noob External BEC question

    Installed a CC external on my Wraith. I forgot to pre-program the BEC to 7.4v. I have already soldered the power lines to the lines for the servo (7950hitec). I tried to connect CC Link to the BEC just using the data wire and powered the BEC using the battery. CC Link would not recognize the...

    moter wont run after CC BEC removal for dig

    I just got the dig kit for my scx-10 and putting it together realized I would need the ch 3 slot my BEC was plugged into, so I took it out of the mix reconnected the red wire and plugged in the battery. Both servos 1 and 3 work but no motor. Lights go ch 2 I assumed. I could get rid of my lights...
