Default mamba max- cc bec

Hey everyone I am new to the crawling scene and just picked up a mamba max and c.c bec unit. Now I have used and programmed the mambas many times before but never with a bec. How exactly do you do it lol ?? Iam in the dark.DO i use the standard m.m usb cable ??? Do i need a new cable to program the bec ??? Help !! I have searched and not found too much explaining it start to finish. Sorry for the stupid question.

Thanks

Yes, you need a CastleLink to be able to program the BEC.

The Mamba uses the same technology, but the link is built-in on it.

So when you link the mamba max to your pc thru the usb cable it also links the bec thru the same usb cable ??

No. Most CC products require a Castle Link to be able to connect the device to your PC. The Mamba, being higher end, has the technology built into it, therefore all you need is a standard usb cable to connect.

The BEC, along with most other CC products, will require the use of a Castle Link to connect to your PC. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXGVR8&P=ML

This should read "the mamba, is WAAAY bigger than it needs to be since they crammed the Castle link into it" They didn't put it into the Monster Max in order to reduce it's size, and included a separate Castle Link in the box.

It's like a friggin castle link giveaway today.

horsinaround, pm me your address, and I'll ship you a Castle link. I'm already sending out one other...
