That's totally normal. When the switch is turned on, the BEC is turned on. Without the BEC on, the ESC just sits idle since the brain circuitry isn't receiving any power. So when the BEC on one ESC is enabled, it basically powers up the other ESC's brain circuitry.

In the dual brushless setup that I did awhile back, I lifted the red power wire from one of the ESC's. This way there was no feedback and no potential problems.

One BEC is plenty to carry your servos.

Ok, that makes sense. I figured it was normal because all of the smoke stayed on the inside. LOL

I would love to see a vid of your truck running.

Both on 2S and on 3S.

It should kick butt as long as temps stay in check.
