Default Do I still need a BEC if running Dual FXR ESC one Servo not HV w/ 3S Lipo

I have been searching for the answer in multiple threads but no luck so I decided to make a thread.

I will be running dual fxr's with one servo that is not HV, do I still need to run a BEC if I were running a 3S Lipo 850mah. I read that when running a 3S lipo on the fxr you will need a BEC so it does not overheat, but will it be different if running 2 fxr's?

Yea, BEC is required for "compworthy" servos.

+2, use an external BEC. Most of us run a CC 10A BEC. I run it directly to the servo, others may run it through the RX.

Yes, there are multiple threads on how to wire it either way.

Now, what if I wanted to run a 7.4v servo? Do I need a second bec to supply 6v to my flysky RX?
