The castle creations battery eliminator circuit (CC-BEC) is a switching unit right? Does this mean I won't be able to run the servo at 6volts when I'm using a 2s battery, as the internal ESC-BEC puts out 5volts and the CC-BEC could drop as much as 1.5volts? And it's not ok to run the radio and servo at 7.4volts correct?
Is there a ubec that will provide a constant 6.2volts while running a 7.4volt 2s battery (the voltage cutoff will be set for no less than 6.4volts to protect my lipo battery investment)
I think I also spoke too soon about running the fans on the ESC-BEC, for the cost of a pair of fans $22 to go to 12vdc fans and a voltage regulator that wouldn't work at 7.4volts v.s. a second CC-BEC $24 I think it would be more universal (2s,3s,4s) to keep 5vdc fans and add the second CC-BEC inside the ESC pack, that way if I wanted to run a third fan (motor cooling) I could just put a third pair of CC-BEC power output wires going to a connector outside the ESC pack. {read dedicated CC-BEC mounted inside the esc to run all 5vdc fans at all pack voltages}
I'm starting to feel like I'm straying from the MM tweaks and mods a bit but since these components go inside the esc it's not too much of a strech right? Or should I start a different thread about BEC stuff?
If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
