Hello folks,

Does anybody know how to use the Castle Link to change the output voltage of the CC BEC? I have looked on Castle's site and the forums here but can't find anything on the subject.

I want to go up to 6V but I don't know how to connect the BEC. I don't see any ports on the BEC either. Looks like it is too small to have a USB hookup built in.

All your help is appreciated.

Best regards,
RB

The believe the Castle link plugs into the USB port on the computer, and the RX plug on the BEC.

If you have the link that came with a Mamba Max, then you don't have all you need to adjust the BEC. You will need to order the complete Castle Link.

Thanks for your answers guys.

What more is there? Maybe a little piece that goes in between the BEC and the Castle Link USB cable?

Do y'all know how to get it for cheaper?

ask at the hobby shop if they'll hook it up for you ,when i first got the mamba for my 18 t the guys at the hobby shop had would plug mine in for me any time i asked.i have 3 different castle products now so it was worth the 25.00 to me.i set mine to 6.2 volts

Yeah, you are right mch441. I think it is a good piece to have. Also, in the scheme of things, what is $25 compared to the $2500 (?) we spend on our hobby, right?

Meh, I just found it for sale on eBay for $25 shipped and I bought it.

Thanks guys. I had no clue.

Best regards,
