Fxr & 35t tekin bec question

[Bogncrawl]

I know this is a noob question but I'm thinking about getting this set up and I've heard talk about if running 3s you need a external bec, but I'll only be running 2s do I still need a bec? I'm running brushless in my other rigs and I don't run a bec so I'm still new to the thought of a bec

My wife's scaler has had an fxr in it for about a year now woth no bec..it's only run on 2s and only has a hitec 5645 servo in it..hasn't given me any problem at all..

BECs are always a good idea in an off road rig, especially brushed ones where motor efficiency is much lower than brushless. Any decent BEC will do: Castle, Novak, etc will all do the trick.

Short of a BEC, a glitch buster cap plugged into the receiver will work for lighter duty, like trail use.

A lot depends on the servo, if under ~200inoz you should be OK with no external BEC.
If over ~200inoz, you should look at an external BEC.

Most other wheeled rigs use lower torque output servos, thus no issues.

If you need an external BEC, I suggest the 10A Castle Creations BEC.

If your servo can handle it, you can run power wires direct from the pack to the servo (assuming 2S LiPO).

Thanks for the info, just order up the fxr & 35t and a cc bec 10a, my servo is a savox 166oz of tourqe, I'll be running only 2s
