Cc bec

[rockpanda]

Hey Guys,
A have a new CC BEC and I am wondering which Port I should plug the cord into on my Spektrum AR600. E.G. BIND/DATA port or Landing Gear port or Auxillery port e.t.c

Thanks,
Jayden

Any port will work.

+1.

I actually prefer to wire the BEC direct to the servo.

Hi guys, I'm just about to plug my AR600 spektrum, with a castle creation on the AUX channel of the AR600.

I have just red that you dont recommand it ?
Can you tell me why ?

My setup is:

XR10 4WS

reciever ar600 spektrum

Channel Thro = Front esc (tekin FXR)
Channel Aile = Rear ESC (tekin FXR)
Channel Elev = Rear servo steering (hitec HS 7954 SH)
Channel Rudd = Front servo steering (hitec 7954 SH)
Channel Aux1 = CC bec castle creation

Thanks

If you run an external BEC through the RX with the ESC, the 2 BEC's (external as well as from the ESC) will fight, smoke usually happens next.
If you want to run the external BEC through the RX, remove the red wire that goes from the ESC to the RX (DON'T cut it off, just remove it from the RX connector and tape it up) and let the external BEC power everything.

Yes I did, sorry man I forgot to mantion it. But I have cut the wire. Well I suppose that I can still weld it back and remove it from the connector

My question is : Is it ok to power my AR600 with the castle BEC thought the AUX1 channel ???

Here is a picture. of my mounting.

You can power it thru any port

Ok great at least will have no smoke when I will plug my lipo

But Why some guys dont recommand to power the rx throught the BEC ????direct to the servos and power the RX throught the ESC ???

Thanks Mate....

Since the ESC already is there & working, I let the internal BEC handle the light load items. Then, all the power output of the external BEC just drives the servo.

Some radios (mostly Spektrum) really want the black wire from the external BEC to go to the RX to stop glitching. Futaba's seem to do fine without that change.

I also have had a few CC BEC's die by going to full battery power, I'm not sure the RX would be happy getting 3S LiPO power direct into it.

And yes, you can run the BEC output to any open RX port if that is the method you chose.

Thank very much charlie III for those infos
