I am installing a hitec 5765 steering servo and I only got one right now it is ok to run just the 1 until the other one comes in the mail? Also I see in the manual it says most receivers you want to bypass the BEC? Do I need to do this and if so how? Oh and also this servo and the 645 t/b servos all install with nothing else needed?
 
I know most people just run one servo when they upgrade with hitec but i think they upgrade The battery too so The hitec preforms better but everything else somebody else will chime in.
 
Oh ok well I already have the one so if most people are running just the one servo I'll do that sweet that saves me some money. I already upgraded my battery I got a DDM 5000 pack. But this leaves one last question I have. I got the superbee kill switch I need to get installed as well do I need to buy a Y harness to be able to install it or can I without it and I saw it says to bypass the BEC I need to do that and how do I do that?
 
You don't need the Y harness. Just plug the super bee into the 3rd channel on the receiver and it will work fine

. I do not know what BEC is sorry.
 
A BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) is what electric vehicles use to bring down the higher voltage to run the electronics.
 
their talking about a internal bec on a electric cars esc,electric speed control.gas power vehicles don't have one as rcdad said so thats one thiing ya don't have to worry about.if you have a higher voltage servo and a receiver that can take higher voltages,you can get a higher voltage receiver battery and you servos will be stronger.just make sure everything you run,t/b servo,steering servo,and receiver are rated for the higher voltage
 
I just responded to a precious post, but I also upgraded to the 5765 and 645mg into xt. I also upgraded the radio to a Futaba 3pl. The stock 6v battery doesn't do the job to turn the 5765 well enough. It was struggling to make a nice solid turn even with the servo saver tight and the DR set high.

As soon as I dropped in the 7.2v stick pack, I was able to loosen the saver up and set my end points to about 85%. It makes nice right turns now. I contacted Hitec as the 645mg is rated for 6v, but they said it will be ok.

My concern is the receiver is rated for 6v, not sure if I should upgrade the receiver now. I am getting a slight high pitched whine when I turn everything on. I think it actually may be coming from the t/b servo.

Also, the t/b servo drops right in, you will use the double arm saver that comes with the servo. You have have to make 2 of the holes on the horn slightly bigger do the brake linkage to slip into and for the throttle linkage to screw into.

For the steering servo, you will use the existing hardware to directly bolt in the bottom of top set of holes. You will have to drill 2 new holes for the other set. It's very very easy, no worries. You will use the large white horn that comes with that also and you have to slightly drill out one of the holes. Or you can get an aluminum horn from DDM.

All in all, taking my time, it took less than a half hour to install both.

Hope this helps!

Most receivers can handle 7.4v. The lipo packs run over 8v when fully charged. I have both Futaba and Flysky/Redcat receivers and never had any issues with either.
 
That makes me feel a lot better. Do you think I'll still be safe with the 645? We talked about this before. That whining sound is a bit disturbing.
 
Well since you guys are on the subject of battery packs I ordered the DDM SC 6.0v 5000 mAh pack Ni-MH Is this a good batter pack for the 5675 and the 645mg servos? Should I get a better pack and new receiver? Also is it fine to run just 1 of the 5675 steering servos or should I when I get a chance buy the 2nd one since the MT is set up for dual steering servos?
 
That battery is fine.

The only thing better would be to upgrade to a lipo setup. The higher voltage (7.4-8+) makes the servos faster and stronger.

There is no upgrading your receiver. Receivers are specific to transmitter brands. If you wanted a different receiver, you would be replacing the transmitter as well.

Nice setup!
 
when you upgrade to a lipo battery on a setup that does not have lvc,you definitely need to install one or at least a alarm though.unless the killerbe has a lvc already in it.i do not know about this but i think ive heard that they do come with the lvc
