X2 99% of people on here will tell you the same. CC 10a BEC FTW!

Thanks for the info but I got another ? how does the bec hook up with the servo and everything ive never seen one wired up?

And just to clarify, not having a BEC wont fry your ESC...

[carp40]

SO what is the purpose of the Bec and would I be able to run the sevo without any problems without the bec

Well, the original purpose of a BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) was to provide power to the steering servo after power was cut to the motor...this was helpful for planes. For our applications, when an internal (inside the ESC) only BEC is used and you bind the motor (can happen frequently in crawlers), the ESC will cut power to the servo. With an external BEC, it eliminates the ESCs ability to provide power to the servo....it draws directly from the battery, so your servo will never see a reduction in power...until the battery begins to drop voltage.
