Internal BEC or external and settings

[primebeatz]

I have an internal BEC on Mamba X ESC from 5.5 to 8v. I have not yet installed a Castle BEC 10 amp peak (6S 25.2V max in. 4.8V-9V OUT) external BEC. I'm using a Savox SC 1258TG servo. Do I need to install the external BEC? What voltage settings should I set to the internal one on the Mamba?

You dont have to use the external BEC but if you have it youll save a little strain on the ESC by using it. Whichever route you go you'll want to set the BEC (internal or external) to 6V as thats the maximum rated voltage for that servo you're using.

That is why he kinda needs the BEC. The comments in the reviews for that servo tend to lean towards a BEC is needed. Granted, it depends on the ESC, but better safe than sorry.

I prefer to run BECs.

So I'd be using 2 BECs then... what settings for each would you recommend?

You can only run one BEC or the other. If you run them both you will fry electronics.
