I am running a clod based crawler with 55 turn brushed motors, a Tekin rebel 2 Esc and dual steering with high torque servo's.I am using a 11.1 volt , 1500 mah 3s lipo. I want to run the Castle creations bec to get more power to my servo's. The big question is Do I need to run two of them or just one ? Thanks. Bob

I would recommend using 2. I've used a single CC BEC for two JR 8711's and it got pretty hot from working both servos a lot. I have mine wired with Y-connectors so that the power does not go through the reciever.

Also, I have fried a Tekin Rebel 2 on just 9.6 volts, so I would not use it for a 3 cell lipo. For that matter, the TR2 does not have a lipo cut off. So if you do use it, be very careful to not over discharge the lipo pack.
