Hello all,
I have a almost 2 week old Arrma Kraton and the servo went out last week. I bought a Savox 1230
and a external bec to go with it based on other threads on here. I hooked everything up, running the power leads from the BEC to the positive and negative of one of the battery leads. Removed the red wire from the esc to the receiver and plugged everything back into the receiver, making sure wires were correct. Plugged bec into channel 3. I plugged in the battery without the BEC leads in first and the black (ground) wire from the ESC to the Receiver started smoking and melted. Something else might of smoked up too, but couldn’t tell where it was coming from. Was the error in plugging in the battery lead without the bec power connected to it? Should I have plugged in the lead with the soldered BEC leads first? Do both battery leads need a bec power and ground? I removed the BEC lead from the receiver, plugged the red wire back into the esc to receiver, plugged the new servo back into channel 1 and everything still works, from what I can tell.
Hoping someone will chime in as to what I did wrong. Thank you! Chris in Canyon Lake.
