| question on BEC
Hey guys hooking up a bec for the first time and just want to make sure i have it right. I'm running tekin fxr esc and hitec hs5645 servo and installing a castle 10 amp bec and use a futaba 4pl with R2104gf receivers. I have hooked red to red and black to black on the deans end, now just making sure.. I unplug the red wire out of the plug on the esc that goes to the receiver and plug it in to normal #2 spot and servo in #1 is this correct? and does it matter what channel i plug the bec into on the receiver? and final question, I'm pretty sure but going to ask anyway, do i hook my bec to my castle link and put it @ 6v? Thanks for your help guys like i said this is the first bec I have done and thought why not try it on new build |

I have mine wired like the pic below with the addition of the black wire from the servo also going to the rx, but with the way you described, it will work too from what I have read on the forum. If you have a spot on the rx that says battle, plug it in there, or I believe ( don't quote me on it) you can plug the bec into any open port on the rx.....hope this helps!! The because should be set to right around the max voltage for the servo or rx, whatever is lower, so you don't fry the other one. Check out the last sticky in the electronics thread about radio, power, bec, wiring diagrams, etc. QUOTE=dpdsurf;1275499]So if I followed this correctly Rocksmith's diagram should actually look like this?

Either way works, I do direct to the servo. As to the OP, your way listed is correct when hooking to the RX. |

Use an extension and cut and solder on it so its easily removable. If you ever decide to sell something, cuts and solders are always scary to a buyer.

Something like this..... Products - OverkillRC and then wrap it in electrical tape. This makes it easy to swap servos if need be, or reprogram the BEC. Some radios, like Spektrum, like a ground from the servo to the RX as well to fix "glitching". Futaba & the GT3B seem to do fine without the ground. Others use an extension made just for this, either way works. | |
