Why plug the bec into channel 2 rather than Batt? I'm running a 3pk (need 4pk; rear dig sucks) and I plugged into batt and seems to work fine. Also would it help anything to splice the bec red and servo red together bypassing the reciever? Could a esc bec power the reciever in that case? Thanks for your help! All this electric stuff is above me. | |

You have to put the BEC in channel 2 of the 4PK RX because of the way the rear dig is programmed. The Batt plug is also the 4ch plug on the 4PK RX's. There is no need to wire the BEC direct unless you are running a lot of current, such as 2 high power servos. My 425oz servo runs great through the RX. Makes wiring cleaner | ||

I havn't gotten my rig yet, will be building a havok bully roller with dual fxr's and a cs-170 servo. I am confused as to what the cc bec is for. At first I thought it was some kind of protection device, to keep the electronics from using too much power, but it seems more to be an additional source of power. To wire up your servo. But in your diagram and explanations it says to wire it to the channel 2 on the rx. What does that accomplish? Is it powering the rx? I am confused as to whether or not I even need one.

I have searched and that is why I'm confused, most people have it hooked up to the servo. But your explanation says to go to channel 2 not the servo. It also depends on what parts you are running, 1 esc, 2 esc's, dig, more than 1 servo, I understand all that, but your wiring diagram says to go to channel 2, and now your above post says that I need it for the servo. So does it get wired up like most of the explanations on this forum, by going to the servo? Or because this is a 4pk, will it go to the channel 2 on reciever? Thanks |

I see your confusion. You can wire it direct to the servo but I have not found a problem with this method, plus its easier. It doesn't matter what slot in the RX, it just feeds power into the RX. The servo will pull power through there. Just remember to remove the power from the ESC's. |

All of the negative terminals are connected, as are the positive terminals. The BEC is providing power to the servo, ESC and Rx for them to run. It does not matter what channel you plug it into, you can even splice the red and black wires to any of the servo or ESC wires. The reason both Harley and I have the BEC connected to channel 2 is that we don't like splicing wires, and it is the only available spot left; Ch.1 = steering Ch. 3 = front ESC Ch. 4 = rear ESC You will need to remove (remove the pin from the connector, do not cut the wire, you will need to reinstall it to program the BEC) the orange wire from the BEC plug, as with Futaba systems this will cause the system to not function. Let us know if you need any more help Quote:

Maybe they have upgraded to a new rx since the 4pk they sent you.
