Im thankful for your videos on the slash, I have the same truck and have been getting alot of info form your channel

The BEC is the brains of the car that's job is being the gyro and distributing power to all the electronics. I just run a simple Protek buster to reduce some load. That's kinda how and why most cars suddenly go up in smoke (Catch Fire).

Excellent! You have give such a Clear information for this set up. Thanks mate you a legend!

why did you set the BEC to 6.5v when the servo is rated for 7.4v?

Thank you mate, I do like the way you do all your upgrades (hopups) very clear and concise all done in clean conditions not a greasy bench!! 👍 But! that was an eye opener!!!😱 Seems to me to be a lot and I mean A LOT of faffing about?!! Although I do follow you (subbed) and have referred to your vids on more than one occasion, but going through all that just to fit a servo is beyond me!! 🤔🤪🤣 Is it all necessary? Thank you.

Hi lookt at you video and it is really good. But i just broke my stock servo and im thinking of installing the same servo as you dide. But do i need the bec ore can the esc handel the new servo on its own? I do have the slash oba tsm model.

Hello, great videos! However I just spoke to Savox on the phone, I spoke with their head engineer and I told him that I was interested in upgrading my Servo to the same one you are using but I wasn’t sure about this BEC wire installation. He explained to me that the BEC wire is completely unnecessary and that it won’t do anything to help the Servo avoid any glitches because he stated the servos will not have any glitches. They are unsure why you decided to install this? Any feedback about this?

What a pain buying all that stuff. That BEC ain't cheap to begin with and you'll still need to cough up some more for that old tech arduino dongle just to adjust the voltage. Me, I'd just get a DC-to-DC switching buck converter (which is what a BEC really is) for just US$2 and you can adjust the hell out of the voltage to suit whatever you're powering up with it. All you need is a mini screwdriver and any cheap old multimeter lying around the house. Just note down your servo's voltage and max current draw, buy a buck converter that matches the spec and adjust the pot screw to match.

Would love to see a close up of the cables attached under the heat shrink. I did this and wasn't able to get the copper connectors back into the plastic housing all the way. Just too tight.

After spending $80 on the servo, $20 on the BEC, and the cable harness, spending an extra $20 on the Castle Link is nothing. Another point, sense you used the harness why not run the voltage up to 7.4 to 8.0? I believe the servo can handle 8.4. I run BECs in most all my cars and I crank the voltage up to 7.8ish.

And that RC enthusiasts is how you trade in various improvements for the heaviest slash ever, so get ready to enjoy a couple of "probable" benefits for some even more probable plastic breaks! Very popular perspective thinking the more your RC has the better! Wrong! Upgrades should only be done after solving a specific recurrent issue after your particular style of driving. if you don't tend to over heat... don't do a cooling solution. If you never look at your speed metric while driving, don't add sensors or GPS. If you don't break servos... don't do a servo swap. If you have never broken a chasis... don't strengthen the chasis. And so on! If not needed, all the shiny alum upgrades don't flex and will break plastic parts! In real racing teams weight reduction is at the top of the list... so keep that in mind before doing any upgrades your driving style didn't need! Great tutorial videos by this guy! ENJOY the weekend fellas!!!

Is it still waterproof after this?

Do you know what is the max voltage that Traxxas receiver could handle? I want use 7.4 but don’t know will it damage my receiver or not.

What does this do again?

is a BEC necessary?

Which direction do you plug the adapter in
