You will notoce a big difference eliminating the internal bec on the quark. I have even done it on my 65 roadster and it works well. I have a few $7 CCB (chinese crap becs) and when wired and placed correctly they will work without interference. The ccbec is far superior and only about 3 times the price, a killer deal for a necessary component!

The internal bec just can't keep up with the demands a high torque servo(s) can place on it. They work ok in 10th scale vehicles on 2-3s with medium duty servos, that is about the best you can hope for.

I don't have the Castle Link yet, but I'm happy with the 5.0 volt output. Just as long as I get that extra heat/amp load off the ESC.

The good thing about this is, if I do decide to go with a HV setup, I have the BEC at least.
