Default CC BEC wiring diagram for my set up question!?

Hi guys...I just have a question here for all the pros and experts...

So i am planning to hook up my winch to a 3rd (or 4th. TQ4 radio) channel without having to use a seperate battery pack. (weight reasons)
So what I did pretty much is soldered the winch to the esc plugs, that way the winch and the esc is both being powered by the same 2s pack.
I tried it (with JUST THE ESC AND WINCH into the RX) and it worked great!


and so then I thought I'd need a BEC since Id have the RX pretty full...
leds (plugged into esc and servo for brake lights and turning lights)
winch
servo
esc

and so I bought a CC BEC, and it's on the way and was wondering if my wiring plan is correct before i do anything else...



Would it cause any problems? thanks guys...

I believe so. Since your ESC and BEC both have the red wire going into the receiver, they'll be fighting each other. If you disconnect the red wire at port 1 on your receiver, you're likely to backfeed through the LED's, through the servo wire, and back into the receiver. I'll assume you need the LED signal wires hooked up to both servo and ESC for directional lighting.

At a very minimum, I would reccomend remove the red wire at port 1 on your receiver, and remove the red wire from your LED controller to the ESC.

Then the BEC supplies current at port 5, good to go
Winch draws power at the red & black on port 4, good to go
Port 3 appears empty, no problem there
Servo draws from red & black at port 2, good to go
LEDs draw through the servo's red & black, should be fine
ESC draws it's signal from port 1, but supplies no power (no red, open circuit) and thus doesn't fight the BEC

It's important to remove the red from the ESC to the reciever and from the ESC to the LEDs. Gotta make sure there's no trail from the ESC red to that receiver.

FYI; your picture differs from your verbiage. My advice is based on the picture.
