I know what a BEC is, but I don't understand the typical crawler application of this product.

With the 2 output wires, you can just have the single CC BEC Pro for a Super running servo power straight to the servos (not how it's shown in the diagram though). Instead of having two separate CC BEC's. That's the only thing I would have a use for it.

I think the diagram is showing an airplane or heli receiver that runs big servos.

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

Right. In a super where you would normally use two BECs (or a scale truck with lots of winches and stuff), this one can do the big job of both.

So if I read this right, it has two servo outputs on the one BEC. You would then run the + and - from each output to your two servos, then run the signal wires from each servo to the esc in the appropriate channel. So this is basically two normal cc bec's in one package, am I correct thinking this?

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

It isn't two BECs, it is just one huge one that has two outputs.

Your wiring thoughts are correct, almost. Servo signal goes to RX channel.

HAha, I meant RX Brain and fingers were not on same page, Thanks for clarifying JRH"thumbsup"

Can you program each lead out of the BEC differently?
If your BEC is programmed at 7.2 volts for your servos, does that mean the receiver will receive the same voltage? Wouldn't 7.2 volts to the receiver nuke it?

I read the user guide and I don't think the outputs can be programmed for different voltages. A link to the user guide. http://www.castlecreations.com/support/documents/cc_bec_pro_user_guide.pdf

What receiver? Most of the Spektrum surface receivers have a Voltage rating of 3.5-9.6V. If your worried about the receiver you can use the ESC's internal BEC to power the RX and use the External BEC wired directly to the servo's bypassing the RX.
