Hobbywing BEC

How is the Hobbywing BEC. I got a 150Amp version and was wondering if the BEC can handle more than 12 cells.

I know with my Mamba MAx if I go over 12 cells it is suggested to run an external BEC should I do the same for the Hobbywing or can it handle the extra juice?

Thanks

The HW 80A and 150A use a switching BEC, the MM uses a linear BEC, so you're fine.

Thanks for the quick response
Glad to know this will work I can put the money for the BEC to some new LIPOs instead

Thanks again!!!

i think you might be surprised how cheap you can get lipos for nowadays. the turnigy series batteries from hobbycity.com are actually cheaper than even mid-grade ni-mhs.

you can get a 5000mah 20c 2s pack for $20! the 3s version of that pack is only $30.
