Agreed, I've only seen this problem with savox. But still a little engineering investigation gives some surprising results. Not all BEC are created equally (which we all knew) but at least I have numbers and to back this up and the knowledge that some will work way beyond their 'spec' rating. Also I've only seen the problem with this ESC/servo combination. I run savox in all my cars and they are happy with LRP, Tekin, Novak, and robitronic.
Also in my testing I have found that Spektrum recivers are more sensitive to voltage dips than other makes (this is also well documented) so if you have a combination of all 3. savox + specktrum + Poor BEC = problems.
So far from my tests show LRP have the most robust BEC designs
I'm going to test others as I aquire then to get a good picture of what is an essential part of an ESC
