| Castle BEC Pro for 2 hv serovs
Ive got 2 Hitec 7950 servos for 4ws in my wraith. How do I wire up a Castle Bec pro to run them both? Or do I just get 2 reg casle bec? Anybody got a simple wire diagram? Thanks |

Splice the BEC output wires so you can run both to each servo (if you're running them direct....my preferred method). If you have a Spektrum radio, I would suggest running the ground (black BEC output wire) to the RX as well. Spektrum is sorta picky about this. |

Wire up or buy a couple of these bypass adapters, one for each servo. Bec plugs in one side to power servo and only the signal and ground wire go to the RX |

A Y-harness would send power to the receiver. What hes wanting to do is power each servo directly from the bec, because the servo most likely can operate at a higher voltage the the receiver will allow. So he would need an adapter (or cut and splice the power wire on the servo) to power each of his servos from the Bec and then use the ESC to power the receiver.

If the red wire was removed & taped back at the receiver plug end, it wouldn't be able to send power. Right?

This is my preferred method, takes away any concerns on how much voltage the RX can handle running through it. | |

No, the red wire from the Y harness that goes into the reciever (single end). The BEC & servo wires would not be touched. It works exactly the same as your homemade harness but in an off the shelf package. |
