Running a switching BEC on lower voltage makes for reduced efficiency. I've never tested the Tekin BEC specifically, but all other BECs I've tested (Koolflight, CCBEC, DimensionEngineering, etc) tend to operate more efficient (and cooler) with higher voltage.

Interesting, now I have no idea what the hell to do. lol.

I was thinking of running a seperate BEC for the steering/brake but I'm not sure how that would interact with the existing BEC on the RX8 since I don't think it can be disabled.
