Saber tooth glitches question

[Rvjimd]

Hope I'm not hi jacking the thread here, didn't pay attention to the last date posted...

I have a sabertooth 2-5 that I am going to put into the crawler crane. Can or does it do BEC? From the thread here it seems yes.

Do I want to just continue to use my BEC already in the crane and then do I need to clip ALL red wires from the ST?

If you allready have a good BEC then take out the red wirs from the ST and you will be fine. The ST just does'nt have a good BEC.

FYI,

I started a help ticket with Dimension about my 2x5 controller. I thought I was going to completely scrap it but did as you guys suggest and ran a dedicated BEC and it all works fine.

All I learned from tech support is the 2-5 is only 100mA. They said "oh no, it couldn't possibly run four servos" well that is a bit of information I could have used before I bought it... I'm not sure 100ma will power a six channel RX with NOTHING else plugged into it? In fact it didn't seem too for me. I tried the dumb thing all by itself with the two small motors and NO servos and it wouldn't run the motors.

Anyway, it works fine when used as a motor controller only, powering the RX with an independent power source.
