This whole BEC thing has bothered me since I started flying my first Trex 2 years ago. I'm currently running a Sport BEC on my spektrum setup and haven't had a single problem. It's probablly overkill and another weak link but I'm happy.

What cracks me up is this.

Why do we always go with so much headroom on our ESC's (most everybody runs 35 ampers while most of us probably never exceed 25 amps burst let alone 35).

Why do we all ask WAY more outta our BEC's than the manufacturer recommends. (they all state 2 servos on 3S packs yet we're all running 4 plus a gyro and many of us have all digitals).

Just a thought.
