|  3A External Switchable Speed Controller BEC and LIPOs
3A External Switchable Speed Controller BEC (on ebay - 280163982770) I have just received the above item and installed it on my truck, This has solved the problem I had before (Not enough amps to servo from ESC), I now get 3A instead of 1A. My question is regarding the use of the LRP speedo (83010) and new external BEC with lipo batteries. Because I am using the external BEC, can I use a 11.1V lipo to power my truck although the speedo is only sposed to run at 7.2V? And before anyone asks, I have searched but couldnt find anything directly related to my question. But hey if I get flamed, I get flamed! |

No. The speedo is still only rated at 6 cells, but could maybe get away with 7. 11.1 is too much.

True, but the ebay listing says: "This 3A switchable, external speed controller BEC is easy to install and operate and safely converts the high voltage from your battery pack to a steady voltage so that you can use it, stress-free, with your gyros, receivers and servos." Does that not mean I can run higher voltage? Or does it mean if I run high voltage? Sorry for the noobness and lack of searching skills but I thought forums were a place were you can ask questions???!!!??? I GOT FLAMED!! Last edited by littleskull99; 10-30-2007 at 08:52 AM. |

No problem dude, here is what you want to know. #1. Can you use the reg with high volt batts on high volt capable esc's?-YES #2. Can you use the reg with the speedo you listed AND run more than 6 cells?-NO. Only if you want to release the factory installed smoking mechanism DIdnt think I flamed you |
