| Latest Mamba Micro X - external BEC necessary with direct power servo?
As the title states, is it necessary to wire in the external BEC included with the latest version of the Mamba Micro X to power the receiver itself? The last time I ran an external BEC was on my 1 cell Mamba Max Pro so it’s been a while. The internal ESC circuitry is always powered from the battery but without an internal BEC the transmitter would not see power unless I add the external BEC or power it directly off the battery, correct? I went with the MMX over my Mamba X to save weight but didn’t realize they were shipping with an external BEC now so I’m a little disappointed that it seems I need to add the extra BEC and wiring just to power the receiver. Receiver is a Fly Sky FS-R7P which will handle 9v input max, I’m running 3s otherwise I could power the receiver directly off the battery. |

Good question. I assume they removed or disconnected the internal bec in the version that comes with a castle bec. If you only need to power the receiver, I'd go with an NSDRC micro bec that'll be a little less big/ugly than the castle. https://nsdrcscaleparts.com/products/nsdrc-micro-bec EDIT: Amain says there is no internal bec anymore. Definitely check out that micro bec. "NOTE: The Mamba Micro X2 will no longer include an internal BEC unit. Included with the Micro X2 ESC will be an upgraded external 10-Amp adjustable BEC (CSE010-0004-00). This external BEC upgrade will be supplied at no additional charge."
