Just to be sure I'm on the right track here, the 5amp rating is @ 5volts ... yeah?
Think I'll order one anyway along with some other goodies I saw on your site. PM heading your way

They seem to come in at 5.5 volts these days.

How would you check output voltage on the adjustable BEC model?

I check the voltage output with a volt meter.

I'm gonna run two of these:

Savox SA1231SG Digital Servo

Any chance you can make a dual channel 10A version? 6V.

Sorry, I can't really change the output device in this BEC. I can tell you that it is really rated at 7 amps - I just try to never mention that as I don't quite believe it.

I could package two of the No Brainers together to give you the dual outputs, or you could try it as a single.

As a third option, you could send me a BEC that you like and I could modify it to be a Dual Channel No Brainer BEC.

Understood. Just wasn't sure if you had any options for amperage. I'll take option 3. PM coming your way.

I got my custom 20amp dual-channel no-brainer BEC last week. Haven't gotten to do much actual crawling with my MOA 4WS rig yet but, all the twitching and glitching is gone now! Drives and turns super smooth. Thanks for the awesome work, Al! My son is also very happy that his Mini Recon is drive-able, now.

Made a custom version of the No Brainer for a guy that is running Traxxas connectors and dual steering servos.
The one servo plug goes to the steering channel on the receiver and the two steering servos get BEC power.

Just thought I'd throw this video up here. It's a quick demonstration of my Wraith before and after the HeyOK No-Brainer BEC. FYI my Wraith is running a Mamba Max Pro with a Tekin Redline Gen2 13.5 motor and a power hungry Savox SA-1230SG steer servo. I've bought a few different products from Al and they are always awesome quality, I recommend them fully.


* I know, I said EEC twice instead of ESC. I had ESC and BEC on the brain so you get EEC.*

I would like to get 1 like this but with deans plug setup. I'll send pm also.

How does this supply 5 amps if the battery you're running is only a 3000mah one ?

What an excellent question!

The 5 amps you mention is an instantaneous amount. Meaning that if you put a large enough load on the BEC, that's how much current it is able to flow without failing. Let's say the BEC was set to 5 volts and you put a 1 ohm load across it. The amount of current that would flow is 5 amps because Amps = Volts divided by resistance = 5 volts / 1 ohm = 5 amps

You mentined a 3000mah battery. The "h" means hour. For example, that battery is able to supply a current of 3000 miliamps for one hour. Kind of think of it as how large a bucket of power you have to drain.

You probably noticed another number on your battery: C
Sometimes you will see 20C or 50C or something. That is to help you find out how much current you can pull from the battery at once without destroying the battery. If you have a 3000mA battery rated at 20C it means that you can draw 3000mA x 20C = 60000mA from it for a short period of time.

Hope that helps!

Al

Updated the first post to show the Dual Channel version of the No Brainer BEC as an official product.

Here it is here too:

Interesting....
So you are able to set it to 7.4 volts. O.k....
But what would shipping to the Netherlands do?

7.4 volts is no problem. Just specify the voltage you want when you order or I will preset it to 6 volts.

Send me a PM and I will discuss shipping charges.

Thanks,
Al

Um, 6v is fine for one output, but let's say I needed the other to be 12v....

Only one voltage available on this device.

How about this:
If you don't need the 12 volt feed to be regulated, just take it directly from your 3S pack.
Would that work for you?

It would, or it has in the past, but I've been tinkering with 4s.
