|  BEC question, is 5V 3A enough??
I saw this UBEC 5V 3A product and it has this specs: Compact Switching BEC • 5-23V • 2-5S LiPo, 5-15 NiMh • 11.5g including ferrite ring, wire and connector. • Output: 5V, 3A continuous Is this good enough for my MOA ... i have 2 servos btw for the 4WS too. Pls advise. thanks. after installing my 2 servos and using them for awhile, my servo start to glitch and almost to the state of stop moving. I thought my lipo ran out juice, but my friend said i need BEC. so yeah.. here i am asking newbie question. next i will be asking about the wiring diagram for sure  |

Rather be safe than sorry and a get a CC 10A BEC! Castle has a wiring diagram on their website and provides you with one in the packaging, it pretty simple to install... |

Do yourself a favor and get the Castle unit. More amperage available and the voltage output is adjustable. You will need someone with a Castle Link or need to pick one up to program it. They come set to 5 volts. You use to be able to get the BEC from John(Holmes Hobbies) and he would adjust it for you before he shipped. Quote:

IMO, no 5V is not enough. Most high torque servos can easily run 6V....

It's the 3 amp spec that will fry the esc and/or servo with two big servos that want up to 5 amps each.  Just get the cc 10 amp bec! |

thanks guys for the response... is the 5V enough? my servo rated at 14kg @6V.. meaning if the input only 5V... the pull will be lesser than...  but what do i know.. if it works with you guys... i go for it.. and for the AMP.. yes i agree. the more the better... 10A looks awesome to my 2 servos!! thanks...  |
