Default Sidewinder question

I just picked up a castle sidewinder esc for 5$ new,anyway I want to run dual 380's(brushed) and 2 995 tower servos,batt is 8.4v ni/mh .

Can I get away without running an external bec? if not what voltage/brand bec would you recommend?

Thanks in advance

$5 Nice!

Yes, you will be able to run this combo. The only thing that might be an issue is running dual servos, it might overdraw the speedo's BEC in a bind. You can try it anyways, and you might be fine...

Definetly get a bec from castle, the bec on the sidewinder is on the weak side for sronger servos let alone for 2.
