If your using the BEC on the speed control , it will not put out the needed amps the high torque sevos need . get yourself an external BEC . OTOH , the kitten looks great .

Thanks for the info. If I plug a 6v batteery into the reciever in the batt/bind plug, do you think this will solve it or do I have to buy something else? I tried posting a couple more videos last night but they didn't completly load so they'll be up soon. Nothing to exciting though, just me doing the same thing...lookin like a spode!http://youtu.be/KrTU9iBcgq0

Yes you can use a separate battery to power the receiver and servos just remember to remove the red wire from the esc receiver plug to eliminate the bec circuit the esc supplies so you do not back feed the esc with power. You will also need a battery with a high Mah rating like 2500 or higher or you will still be in the same boat for ex a battery with a 800 Mah will only give you approximately .8 amps which will give you the same problem as before. A 2.4 receiver is very sensitive to Voltage drop so when you activate the servo under a load it will draw to much and the receiver will drop out causing the drive to quit and reset. Spectrum offers a capasitor to pug into the receiver in an open channel to help offset the voltage drop we had to use them on our race cars with the higher out put esc's when we punched the throttle on the start they would drop the voltage to far and the receiver would cut out. The capacitor would offset this and keep the receiver going till the battery recovered from the instant load.

Thanks for the input! I have a 5 cell 6 volt 4200mah hump pack with the reciever plug on it so I will give it a try and see what happens. The cap may be a better solution to my problem though because the screwdrive takes up a lot of space and I don't think there is much room for another battery. I don't understand why the esc on the screwdrive still works when the sabertooth resets? Maybe it is more like a woman... sensitive?

Thanks again for all the help. Reg
