By now many of you are aware of the Castle Creations BEC unit. Many of you I'm sure have one if not many of these tiny little units. Whether you fly planes or heli's or dabble in rc rock crawlers these little devices can give your servo's the full power they need when the ESC's built in BEC just can't do it.
So a basic run down is that BEC stands for Battery Eliminator Circuit. Many of todays's ESC's have these built into them eliminating the use of a separate battery pack for the receiver and servo's. But many of those built in units only put out 4.8 volts and around 2 to 3 amps. Meaning that you get slow servo rates and are limited to the number of servo's used. The CC BEC eliminates that built in unit or acts as a BEC if the ESC doesn't have one.
It gets wired in to your Main Battery and knocks down the voltage to the pre-programmed voltage you set with the use of the CC Field Link for Flying system and your computer. Most servo's max at 6 volts so take that in mind when using a CC BEC unit. The basic use is great because you can add it to any system to get full power to your servo's.
