|  Can I power a winch and servo from the same BEC?
Using a Y adapter and changing the plug, will my CCBEC be able to power the winch as well my steering servo? Sorry if this has been covered before but I my searchfoo is weak. Thanks!

Depends on the amp pull. What steering servo, what winch, what battery voltage, what output voltage will the BEC be set at? Your infofoo is weak as well.   |

Ha, sorry. Was posting from my phone and trying to keep it short. Anyway, 3Racing winch, servo is basically a MG945, 3s lipo, Tekin FXR, CCBEC. BEC is set at 6 volts but I may bump it up to 7.2 volts.

The Castle BEC is rated at 10 amps, more than enough for those two accessories.

He could probably plug his phone charger into the BEC too, so he could charge it while he was crawling.

I know this is a little old. I have a 3racing winch on the way with a cc bec. My current setup is a sidewinder with hitec 645 servo handling steering duties with a cc bec set at 6v. My plan was to add the second bec set at 7.4v for the winch. Am I doing the right thing or am I just wasting a bec?

I run that setup at 7 volts with a stronger servo on one Castle bec with no issues on my scaler. That is with a Sidewinder on 3s with a h/w 35 turn. I even run some led's off it as well. The extra voltage really helps the 645 and the winch is still strong enough. Last edited by Scattman; 08-25-2010 at 05:24 PM. | |
