|  Basic breakdown of rc electronics
Could anyone give me a basic schematic or wiring diagram of an rc? I know this is a very general question, but im just wondering what components come first then second and so on. Also, what is the diff. between an ESC and a BEC? arent they both just voltage regulators to contorl the flow to the motors? |

These threads would be a great place to start. Definitive Radio, Power Wiring, BEC and Servo Threads-- RCC's Top Tech Threads! Definitive ESC, MOTOR, and BATTERY threads - RCC's top tech threads! |

cencal linked some great resources. The ESC is the speed control, it varies the voltage to the motor/motors to control speed. The BEC is a voltage regulator to supply power to the RX and/or the steering servo. While the ESC & BEC "could" be considered the same (very long stretch) the ESC is a variable voltage, the BEC is an adjustable, but basically fixed voltage. |
