I dont think you really need a UBEC with 3s or under I stole the Mamba ESC from my 4s CRT coversion so it was already wired into the ESC but one advantage of the UBEC is it puts out 6v vers the ESC output of around 5v with the larger 1/8th scale conversions and high torque servo's sure the UBEC is needed over 2s with the crt.5 though you are only running a mini servo and ESC. :)

While you are waiting for the spur and motor mount pull your plastic suspension part's and bring a pot of water to a boil turn the flame off and drop your parts in for about 2-3 minutes to soften the plastic up I have been breaking the rear hubs and ballends the plastic is very brittle soaking them in hot water softens up the plastic and lets them flex a little more instead of breaking. This was the fix on the full size CRT when it came out the rear hubs and wing mounts would break in a hard impact. :)
