Ta Man: Have you ever used that Novak BEC before? In the link it says it allows up to 7S usage, but I'm fairly certain that does not mean that if you added this, you cant then run 5,6,7S on the HV system, correct?

I have one of those BECs on my Havoc 3S (the internal BEC won't run a high torque servo on 3S).

Right: You can't run more than 4S on the HV system just by adding a BEC that can take more than 4S.

Well, you could try, but Novaks aren't like Castles (the MM for instance that lots of people use on 4S and some even on 5S).

Yes, good point.

Yep, that would be me. I dont get on there a whole lot anymore - got my 06 set up about where I want it now. Is yours an HO or an SO? If you've got the HO, and you dont have any of the electrical gremlins, keep that thing as long as you can.

OOOOHHH...as I recall, the success rate on solving that wasn't all that high. I also dont recall all that many bubble butts that had it. Good luck!
