Axial Capra with HW 1080 and Reef's 555 Has anyone setup the Capra with the following? Do you think I will need a BEC? If yes, which one do you recommend with how many Amp rating (10 or more)? - Axial Capra Kit - HW 1080 ESC - Reef's 555 Servo - Flysky GT5 Radio Receiver - SX107 Dig Servo - Tattu 3s LiPo Battery 75C (11.1V) |
Re: Axial Capra with HW 1080 and Reef's 555 I suggest using a 10A BEC in everything. |
Re: Axial Capra with HW 1080 and Reef's 555 You'll likely want a BEC as that servo pulls over 4.3 amps at 6 volts per RC Review's tests (more at 7.4 volts obviously). The 1080 bec is only rated to 3 amps. The Castle 2.0 BEC is PLENTY to handle this servo, but I can't recommend it because I don't own, and have never used one. |
Re: Axial Capra with HW 1080 and Reef's 555 I agree you'll definitely want to use a BEC with that servo. I use the Castle 2.0 waterproof BEC in almost all of my rigs. It's expensive, but it's worth the price IMHO. https://www.amainhobbies.com/castle-...153-00/p575484 |
Re: Axial Capra with HW 1080 and Reef's 555 Welcome to the site. I'd recommend a better servo, but yes you should use a BEC with a power hog servo. You could get a Holmes SHV500v3 and have a better servo and you can power it direct so you don't need to be bothered with a BEC. |
Re: Axial Capra with HW 1080 and Reef's 555 Thanks everyone. Ended up with a Castle 2.0 Waterproof BEC and Holmes splitter. |
