      Dontt any of the boat ESC's have the switching type BEC?

      What about a stand alone UBEC run directly from the battery?

      IIRC a 10A continuous runs about $20 and weighs next to nothing.

      ETA, found this.




      Not trying to sway anyone, just curious as this seems like a simpler setup.

        I used to use these really nice BEC's I think they were Hercules? could handle up to 20 amps. 2 caps and a voltage regulator and you could switch fro 4.8 to 6.6 volts by just changing a small plug. But with the extra wires they got to be a pain in the ass and I actually ended up either losing them or sellng them w boats.

          Yeah, western robotics makes them. The PRO Heli guys all use them and their running 4 servos plus electronics under severe flight conditions so power wouldn't be an issue.

          I dont race but I prefer to keep things as simple as possible and for me an added battery is just another thing to maintain and remember to charge.
