    I’d buy this but I already have a 8.4 micro Bec from NSDRC, and the form factor is hella tiny. It works perfectly with 1/10 servos.

  • @ninthislandrc
    @ninthislandrc Месяц назад +1

    In general, I really do like this. For the most part, it is sorta-kinda "plug & play" (as Reef's claims)...but, not entirely. As you are doing, not a lot of people will really want to run a separate battery to power the BEC. They'll want to power out from the same battery powering the ESC. Plus, even if a person is willing to power it from it's own battery, they have to purchase batteries with a specific connector, which also means needing to purchase another charging lead.
    Personally, I prefer having the BEC hardwired to the connector that also powers the ESC. One thing that keeps me leaning towards the Castle BECs is that the are programmable...this one isn't.

      Plus the CC is half the price as well. Maybe not as clean out of the box look but a little extra wire management and they can be nice and tidy.

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  Месяц назад +1

      Yeah I modded this one to fit my builds, but the thing is this has the bypass built in so no red wire removal or any of that. As time moves on more and more components are good for 8.4v or higher. If you have a TRX4 with all those servos this is the perfect solution. with a HV receiver like most are in current times a simple Castle can get it done just remove the red esc wire.

      @@ExocagedRC ​True...or, get one of the Holmes Hobbies Bypass Harnesses. He makes a single servo version, as well as a dual servo version. With his harnesses, there's no need to cut the red wire, plus the harnesses also include two accessory connectors (one of each connector type.
      The nice things about the Reef's BEC is that fully enclosed inside a case (tho, as others have pointed out, a "coffin shaped" case might not be for everyone...lol

      bec = battery eliminator circuit
      escs have an internal bec to power the servos and receiver
      but to power a strong servo you might need more amps than the esc bec can provide, so you can use a separate bec like this one

      Ubec is what they are. Bec is the one in the esc to be 💯 correct.

  • @mikedubree2064
    @mikedubree2064 26 дней назад

    If all the grounds are common (all tied together) there should not be any problems , as long as the hots are not common, high voltage for servo and low for receiver.

  • @duard8652

    Nice! Do they make different voltages? I am slowly going through a build where I have opposite problem: I will have 7.4 volts from esc to servos and receiver, but I want another circuit with 6 volts for sound, lights and such.

    • @troycutsforth9234

      Castle creations BEC is programmable with a castle link. 4.8 to 9 volts I believe. Half the price this one is just not as clean looking.

    Joe, on the FP you are using did you change plugs on the EZ Bec just to avoid using Reefs XT60 harness? Did you have to change anything on the FP receiver plug? I have a FP and would like my Smart 900 to run at 8.4v instead of FP built in 7.4v limit.

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  Месяц назад

      I did this so its plug and play for me and my setups, the easy plug and play with the reefs adapter keeps it simple and avoids many mistakes. I want to use this on a few more trucks where I have the Castle 10a bec so it makes sense to me.
