Reefs just released a new "Plug'n'Play" 8.4v EZ-BEC

Video just popped up in my YT feed. Not anything I can use, at the moment, but for those in need, it seems it may well be a great option. I sort of dig the coffin shape as well, I could see it being used to add to certain livery situations.

I'm not sure why anyone would want that. You can buy a Castle 10A BEC thats programable for half the money.

Just wanted to post it, since it is new. The Castle 10A is what I have, currently, but I won't need one at all in the Capra build, as the new Axe 3 ESC has a built in 10A, which is programmable as well.

I totally get that. I was just meant IDK why Reefs would try to sell that at that price point because of the Castle one. I mean I get they are trying to capitalize on peoples laziness/ignorance but imho if you can't wire up a BEC you should prolly find another hobby lol.

Totally agree. When hopping up your RC becomes plug and play... it'll have lost all interest for me. Associated is still making kits! I hope they keep going the way they are. The vintage stuff is killer. That new drift kit looks killer. The new Comp Fox kit looks killer. They're knocking it out of the park again me thinks.

I hate it when people are like “yeah I built this myself and it’s totally custom” when they literally bought a Traxxas car and followed the recommended upgrades for the car or buying an EXB Arrma truck and saying it’s custom even when it’s stock. I mean, if something’s custom, it would be your deadbolt van or my mid motor slash or TRAT’s crazy contraptions.

I only listed those things because they were the first things to pop into my head
