I've got a esc that has them on/off switch and also a bec with an on/off switch. Where do I plug them into my rx?

What kind of BEC is it? Do you want the BEC to power your rx and servo, or just your servo?

Post a pic of what you've got. That might help us to help you. Also, what are you trying to power with the BEC? |

I've never ran a bec before, so that's why it's confusing to me Sent from my SM-S902L using Tapatalk |

1. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO POWER? 2. Do you have a multimeter? If so, plug up a battery, turn ESC and BEC on, and measure output voltage of the BEC. |

Let's assume it's for a steering servo. It plugs into slot 1 or steering slot on Rx. If it's a winch or third channel device, it goes into slot 3 or 3rd channel. The other end of the BEC should plug into the device being powered. |

And ESC should plug into slot 2.

The bec is connected to the power wires and just has the one male rx plug, so nothing can be plugged into the other end. Also the esc rx wire has the red wire removed. This is all confusing to me. Sent from my SM-S902L using Tapatalk |

| Re: Esc question
The separate BEC takes power from the main battery, and plugs into any spare channel on your receiver. It drops the voltage to a regulated 5v (usually) suitable for the receiver and servos. That means you need to connect it, in parallel with your ESC, to the main battery plug. The ESC plugs into the throttle channel on your receiver, as normal. If your ESC has an internal BEC, you normally need to disable it when you're using a separate BEC by pulling the red wire out of the plug that goes into the receiver, and taping it back on itself so that it can't touch anything. I found this. Is this correct? Sent from my SM-S902L using Tapatalk |

What's it mean by connecting it in parallel with the esc? Sent from my SM-S902L using Tapatalk |
