Wraith servo question
 

I have a castle 10 amp bec with a servo with 333oz and just installed rear steer with the same size servo. Do I need to step up to the castle 20amp bec. What do you guys run with front and rear steer.

Re: Wraith servo question
 

You need to look at your servo specs.

A 7955 is 300mA at idle, and 4.2A at lock. If it was me, I would put a BEC on each servo.

Re: Wraith servo question
 

+1

I think the cheapest route would be, is to buy a second 10 amp BEC for the rear steer.

Re: Wraith servo question
 

I'm going to go against the above advice, and do the opposite. I'd run them both off one BEC, and this is why:

A. The likelihood of those servos pulling their max amperage draw simultaneously
is very low. Even at full bind they're not pulling 5 amps apiece.
B. "4.2 amps at lock" as previously posted is only 8.4 amps, what's the problem,
the BEC is rated @ 10amps.

Re: Wraith servo question
 

You only need the one BEC. I am running 4ws on the same BEC you have. My front servo is HS-7980TH and SG 1231SG in the rear. I have never had any problems even when I had the dig kit in it.

+1 for running one bec. I run 2 savor 1230sg servo at 4990x at 7.4v ( i believe) and the one bec does the trick.

Re: Wraith servo question
 

I'm planning on only running 1 bec when I finish the 4ws setup. Less mess and wiring to deal with is another bonus.

I run 2 400 oz. servos on one BEC. Runs great!!!

Sorry... 10amp BEC.

Re: Wraith servo question
 

If I'm running 2 servos and they both need 6.0v would I set my bec at 12 or what

Re: Wraith servo question
 

Set it as 6v, the voltage required will not increase with a second servo but the current demand (amps) will.

Ok thanx man
