|  EDF Jet ESC and BEC from china....
So sitting here in front of me is a 70mm ducted fan foamy F-22 from HongKong. she has a 45amp ESC, and a 5a BEC. both the ESC and BEC are soldered +/- to a deans connector. BOTH THE ESC AND BEC HAVE A FULL PLUG TO GO INTO MY RECEIVER, TELL ME IF WHAT IM GOING TO DO IS WRONG. I Plan on removing the positive (red) wire from the ESC plug, plugging it in to the throttle port on my RX, and then plugging the BEC into the bat/bind port on my AR500? so i dont double power the RX right? or is the Chinease BEC different than a castle creations one? I ordered it w/o the tx, rx, batt, or chager. So yesterday i look inside and find a ball of wires LOL. I has to rip off the botom to figure out what was what |

Sounds as if the ESC may not even have a built in BEC...a lot of the 45a and up ESC don't so the red wire does nothing. At anyrate your hooking it up right ...pulling the red wire will hurt nothing.

If the ESC has no internal BEC, you run all 3 wires for both. If the ESC has an internal BEC, you remove (+) wire from the ESC plug thanks man, shes done!   |

looks like fun! I'm more of a aerobatic/3D and heli(NO 3D) guy myself... I did have a go fast glow plane called "weston magnum" that would hit in the 170-180 MPH range when I had the engine singing on the pipe  I keep pondering a ducted fan or prop jet since all I seem to fly these days is electrics... you may have just pushed me over the edge  GOOD LUCK with the maiden  |
