I had some guys ask me how I wired up my rig at the comp . I use 1 Castel BEC to power the winch , receiver and servo sit at 6 volts. It work great , I'm sure there is other ways this is just how I did mine . I did a drawing to help people understand how it is wired .
Come on Andy, you know who that is driving....... Mini-Me!Yep that be the beer drinkin' rattlesnake himself .
Congrats on the B.I.S."thumbsup"

Great Draw up. BEC's work awesome (i think) for scalers, they're small to hide and can power pretty much anything auxillary.
The winch works good off just 6V? Ive only used BEC for lights so far but was worried 6V wouldnt be enough for the winch.

Thanks
I have not tried it set on higher voltage . So I'm not sure if it would work better. My rig is right around 8 1/2lbs . The winch seem to pull it ok . If you look in the video link above around 9min 19 sec you can see me winch the blazer up and over a nice ledge . "thumbsup"

small update
I won a pair of Stage 3 Racing Chromoly lockers @ The 2009 Official "Scale4x4RC.US" Summer Scale Comp .
specs from Stage 3
part # AL015
"These are made from hardened chromoly Steel and are virtually indestructible with a tensile strength of 175,000psi. Each locker weights in at 47 grams making it the heaviest AX10 locker on the market. The lockers comes with a black oxide coating for corrosion resistance. Made in the USA."
The install was very easy . They installed the same way as stock lockers . Other than they are 1 peice not 2 . With the 1 piece design it takes the slop out of the 2 peice lockers . That is always a plus . I did put a drop of blue threadlocker to the 4 screws . The interaxle shafts where very thight in the locker. :nice:

Well I had a few problems come up with the GD-600 & 10 tooth pinion gear at the scale comp . The Pinion gear was made from soft metal . The set screw pulled the thread out . This let the pinion gear move and eat the teeth off the GD-600 spur gear . I took the repair and fixed it up just enought to finish . To fix the problem I ended up getting a 12 tooth pinion and a set of lower axle gears . I also dropped to a 65 turn motor from a 40 turn . We will see if this move works out .
The gears where easy to install and with the new lockers should hold up very good .
