Default BEC for WINCH?

I'm running the CC BEC at 6.0v with my Goat 3s ESC. If I add a winch to my setup will I need a second BEC for it? I assume if I don't voltage to the servo will drop as it's sharing the power supply?

You will be ok with one, most of the time when your winching you are sitting still.

With the goat 3S you didn't really need a bec in the first place. The Goat 3s has a 5amp internal bec.....

One BEC will be enough. But your winch will lack in power. Winches require about 7.2 volts to be able to use it to it's full potental.

The second BEC is not required to make the winch work though

I hope that helps.

You can do a 2nd BEC and run it straight to your winch controller and program it at 7.2 so it gets the full power.
