I don't run an rx pack because you still need a regulator to drop the voltage to 6v not to mention I've run 2 coolflight UBEC's for years now and they've never gone bad. I also have the western robotics and it works like a champ. I've only used the cc bec for maybe 20 5min runs. The only significant change I made was setting the cc bec to 6v via the castle link. I'd be curious how many fail while using 5v as apposed 6v etc.
I know there are many reports of of this problem but I didn't see a specific thread for it. My intention for the thread was to hopefully save others from the carnage.
I love Castle products but I won't be running the cc bec anymore.
