Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

That's freakin' awesome looking! The $45 pricetag is not too bad either. Not compared to the hobbyshitty 10s bec going for $20, but this is a CC product...

Look at the schematic of how to wire it in. It shows a green out-runner. Hinting some thing here???

And why is it only rated for 6s input in cars?

CC is releasing a line of outrunners. There's a thread on it in the CC section. Yeah, why is it rated for <25v in cars? That sucks! I bet it's because of the highpower servos we use for braking and steering. Hopefully they'll revise that spec., because the current CC bec does fine on 6s, with only 10a max. So, I suppose with this 20a max, it can handle 2x the voltage under the same load, correct?

i don't think the bec cares what it is in, I think it's because their car speed controllers are only rated for tops of 6s

Its only rated to 6s for cars due to high braking voltages on car controllers.. There is a review of the Bec Pro coming out in RCDRiver next month ;)

If you check this thread out you can see some performance charts of a couple of different Castle BEC's

BEC 1 = CC BEC
BEC 2 =

Looks like a Great product!

With such a broad range of adjustable output voltage, I can see it having other uses as well.
