| 11.1V to Honcho LED's?
Will the handle it? I got an RTR Honcho, and am planning a 3S lipo, Tekin FXR, CC BEC and a Novak 45T.......Want the LED's to survive. |

| depends on how you run them im gonna run mine off a seprate power source (i have , but if your running the LED's off the batt (11.1 v) you will need resistors so they dont pop, i like to run LED's around 6-7volts they are pretty bright and dont pop (helps ive taken an electronics where half of what we did was building circuits with LED's in them)

You can run a BEC to cut the voltage down from the battery. That's what I plan on doing since I'l' be running 3s lipos for power

I run my winch,lights and rec off my CC BEC set to 6 volts. I have an FXR, JR 9100 stearing servo, and over 20 lights at 3cell lipo at 3200 mah. Super long run time and a voltage cut off. |

am I missing something? I have always got plenty of power to run my extra lights and what not right at the rx I believe it is 6v. regardless of the voltage at the battery. maybe I need a BEC and don't know it but I haven't let the blue smoke out of any of my rx's yet. Help me out here not being a jerk just don't understand edit now that I reread that I think it may have something to do with amps?
