WR BEC HC wiring Q??

[jakeg1999]

Ok, I just realized that I may be able to use my High Current Hercules on my E7 that I am building, even though it can't handle 12S. According the the Castle Diagram below, I can wire it off of one pack. It has a 5A continuous, and a 10A peak rating. I am going to run 8717's and a BLS256HV. I know the 8717's can be a bit power hungry, but I have had great success with them with the Jive 80 which has BEC specs of 5A/15A. I know the Super BEC would be ideal, but I am trying to save every penny for the Logo XX. I am just looking for feedback. I have a Super BEC NIP, but was going to hold it for the XX that will have the same tail servo, and Futaba BLS157HV's......Feedback?

I wouldnt use the HC bec with that heli and servos you are going to have a brown out .I have used that bec on small stuff in the past you would be much better off with the Super Herc .

I am running the JR 8917HV Servo setup with a Savox SB-2272SG HV Tail Servo, I went with the CC BEC Pro to get the 20A peak capacity. But yes, you can wire it to run off one flight pack no problem, I have switched all of my birds over to this setup. Much safer, I kept hearing reports of the BEC PROs flaming up on 12S, even though they are rated for 50V, that is their MAX and a fully charged 12S setup is right at that.

Yeah, I figured it's better to be safe and go with the Super. I think in going to start wiring my BEC's off 6s instead of 12s. Makes more sense for them to not have to shed as many volts.
