Try using a 2s lipo plugged directly into a receiver with no ESC plugged in, and test with remote to see if the power is back. If this works it means your ESC BEC has given up the ghost. If this doesn't work, the servo may have more serious problem.
So I can never use it, haha
Beat me to it, and it doesn't require extra hardware the user prolly doesn't have like my servo tester. haha, good call!!
haha I just looked that servo up. 930oz/in is like 70kg yeah a bit much for an internal bec to handle. I wonder what ESC is being ran.
I ran it of the MAX6G2 at 8.4 and it worked perfectly for almost a year. I’ve tried using separate BEC’s and the results were way less than the trouble. Same with a separate battery. That’s just been my experience with the 930. I have a 635 and for some reason it doesn’t last either way I wire it. I’ll try it with a clean battery. The internal BEC could be failing. I have abused the system no doubt!
Max6 G2 is one of the only BECs included in any ESC I would say is up to the task of 930 actually.
I just put an 1155 promodeler back in without a BEC and it works like a champ. I’ve personally never had an internal BEC go out. I’ve ran stand alone BEC’s with this servo and all it did was add weight and more places for stuff to come loose while bashing. I just want the tires to turn
Oh yeah I wouldn’t put it on a stock ESC. The servo is the only thing running on the BEC as well. I run fans off the main battery 2-40 mm Hyperflow to keep it cool. The 930 is a great servo and for less than a Raw 500 which is another good servo. Perfect Pass is really good too. A good servo that whips the tires around makes a huge difference.
Will that servo tester work with a 2s lipo?
They are usually meant to be ran with a 6v BEC. Looking at the picture I posted above though the input side says 4.8-6v. So imma say no it won't take a 2s directly.
Yeah, you can get 4 packs of those off amazon for like nothing free shipping. If you have direct powered, it with a 2s then I'd say mine will allow it to. This one linked also shows on the input side 4.8-6v so a 2S is going to be too much. But again, if you've done it on that one mine would def be fine as well.Yea it will. Need a connector from it to that though. Jst has the correct pins. A 2s balance lead might fit in there too, but I suspect it will be a little wide. don't use a 3s balance lead.
I uses these guys. Simple, cheap. Enough to diagnose a jittery servo or to center a servo prior to installing a horn. Same story, will take 2s with jst.
