| Novak 410 m5
I was wondering if any one knows the Novak 410 m5 speed control BEC strength? Deciding if I need a external BEC or not. Thanks |

What are you going to do for reverse? It's probably about an amp and a half, if that. Old-school ESC's don't have a whole lot of amps in the BEC. |

Arg! who needs reverse! When I get rich I will get another esc but I have been working with a very limited budget, but I got a SW3 chassis just ordered a V-10 motor and a MG 945 servo. I plan on using the old Novak for a while I am really just hoping that it will stand up till I get the money for a new ESC |

I'd run a 30 dollar moped if I were you. Cheap and way better than that dinosaur. At least you will have reverse. |

I did hear back from Novak and they said it's 5volts at 1/2 amps, so it sounds like that should work for now but I have been looking at the moped esc. I just need to be careful I have some bills that I need to pay off before I get a medical discharge from the Air Force I have developed asthma, and from what I am being told that is what I have to look forward too oh yea!
