6s on M Monster

You would put the servo load on the CC BEC, and I can't comment what is better. I would not use an external BEC personally, as my MMM have been running fine.

ok....of course if you are using the ccbec the load is going to be on it and not the esc??? From my understanding, the ccbec is basically the same thing in the Mmonster except it handles more amps and has adjustable voltage. I guess my question should have just asked if there was any difference between the two as far as one being more efficient or reliable. Also I own 3 MMonster controllers and havent had a problem with any of them, but I also have only previously rand 4 or 5 cells. The 3 locally that I have seen problems with, 2 of them were on 6s and the the third was on 3s. If I can prevent burning up the bec on the MMonster by using the CCbec then why not, expecially if I already have it? Worst case the CCbec fails and I just plug the red wire back in and run the built in bec. Well there could be worst but I'm not going there.

Since both are switching BECs, I would expect either to be comparable efficiency-wise. If your goal is simply higher voltage to get the most out of your servo, then the CC BEC is gonna be the desired option. If you are worried about the CCBEC possibly failing (which generally means it will either output 0v or full battery voltage), then you could wire the system up so that the CCBEC only powers the servo, but the receiver and any other servos run directly off the ESC's BEC.

this actually sounds ideal, is there a easy way to do this?
