Default Ordering a Castle BEC. Quick ?

I am on Holmeshobbies website and I need to order the Castle BEC. I see that the most common voltage setting it 6V. I just want to make sure I order the correct voltage for my setup.
I am running a ax10 with the following:
Tekin pro 45t
Tekin FRX
Hitec HS-7955TG servo
3S 1500mah 25c lipo
In the future I will add a second servo when I get a dig.

Do you still suggest the 6v setting?

I did search, but could not find my same setup.

Thanks guys!

Yes 6v would be good .The nice thing about the castle BEC is you can set the voltage with the castle link on your own.

X2 I personally run mine at 6.2 volts, but I also run 2 digital servos off of mine with no problems

Bought a used CC bec from a member he set it at 6v for me and I running an ax-10 with 1500 3s, rooster crawler esc (I know it shouldn't handle 3s, but it does very well for me so far.) novack 45t motor with 2 Hitec MG645's servos. This rig weights around 5# and runs real well with no glitches whatsoever, but it helps if you using a 2.4 radio.
