|  BEC Qs
Will damage or heat occur if I leave the BEC plugged in with out turning it off. My habits are to crawl some, turn off my ESC and TX, stack some rocks, and crawl some more, then reapeat. Should I put a switch on the BEC? |

Nah. I have mine soldered up, no switch whatsoever. Never had any problems. I run in the 90 plus degree summer days too.

all it will do is just draw on the battery from the servo. other than that the less switches you have the less you will be cursing it when you cant figure out why it wont run.

No, ya should unplug the battery!  Turn on radio - plug in battery / unplug battery - turn off radio  Every-time!  Don't need no stink'n switches! |

The battery unplug thing is just a pain. My leads aren't that long from the esc. And were talkin a min to stack some rocks and then try a line. But thanks for the input guys. |
