What the heck is a BEC? CC BEC Battery Eliminator Circuit is a little device that eliminates the need for a receiver and servo battery pack. It draws higher voltage from the motor batteries and drops it to a voltage level that is suitable for your receiver and servos. This is required in applications which draw high power for multiple servos or use more than 3S motor packs, as most ESCs with linear BECs are not designed for these applications. The CC BEC uses a Switch Rate method that is vastly more efficient than common circuits that sweat off much of your power through a heat sink. Peak Current Output: 10 amps
Continuous Current Output: @12 Volts input 7amps, @ 24volts input 5 amps **
Output Voltage: 5.1 volts out of the package, user may set output voltage from 4.8 to 9 using the Castle Link (sold separately).
Input Voltage: 5 to 25.2v (2S to 6S LiPo)
Length: 1.2" (30mm), Width: .6" (15mm), Height: 4" (10mm)
Weight: 0.4 oz (11 grams) **Ratings are determined with a 5mph airflow on the BEC. Servo connectors are not rated for current in excess of 5 amps. Users are encouraged to replace the connectors if more than 5 amp currents are anticipated. Modifications available below. For models containing digital servos (3D Heli's for sure!) which could demand currents 4 amps or more, increasing the output connection with double leads is strongly urged.

Need a BEC to drive a really large load? Useful for high servo counts or many digital servos on larger craft. Use as a power supply aboard your UAV to drive sensor, transmitters or whatever your client has you testing. NOTE: CC BEC Pro should never be operated in series or parallel with another BEC or backup receiver pack connected to the RX/Servo side of the circuit. Size: 1.69" (43mm) x 1.3" (33mm)
Height: 0.94" (24mm)
Weight: 1 oz* (29g*)
Max Amps: 20 amps peak**
Max Volts: 2s to 6s LiPo Cars: 6s (25v), Airplanes: 10s (40v), Helicopters (with brake disabled): 12s (50v)
Adjustable Output Voltage :4.8V to 12.5V *Weight without wires
**Ratings are determined with a 5mph airflow on the BEC. Advice from Dave on setting voltage: For simulating a typical 4.8V RX pack set voltage 5.1 to 5.4. For simulating a 6V pack, set voltage to 6.4 to 6.8. Battery packs are not any set voltage but work over a range of voltages. Think about what your trying to simulate. A 4.8v pack is empty at about 4.4v, full at about 6v. A 6v pack is empty at 5.5 and full at about 7.5. For heli's where the tail servo and gyro won't take 6v packs, what the MFG is saying is it won't take 7.5V. Setting heli voltage to even 5.8 or 5.9 is fine as it just looks like a 4.8V pack hot off the charger. For older 2.4GHZ systems (Anything not Hitec/Airtronics and pre 2011 gear) we reccomend setting voltage to 5.4-6V range MINIMUM.

The ParkBEC 6V is the 6 volt output version of our ParkBEC, the smallest and lightest switch-mode BEC on the market. The 6 volt output will give you more servo speed and torque than standard 5V models. It can support as many as six sub-micro servos.
ParkBEC 6V is especially well suited for small helicopters and 3d planes, where extra response speed or torque are needed.
It weighs only 6.5g and is designed for running parkflyer type aircraft with pack voltages up to 33.6V.
The ParkBEC 6V installs between your ESC and receiver. You don't have to modify your speed control to disable its internal BEC, just plug the ESC into the ParkBEC 6V. It uses a switching type power supply to efficiently convert high pack voltages into a steady 6 volts.
Additional notes
If you are using small servos make sure they can run at 6v. Some sub-micros, notably the Hitec HS-50 and Futaba S3154, can be damaged by a 6v supply.
For best results, ensure that the ParkBEC 6V is installed at least 2 inches away from your receiver and antenna.
ParkBEC 6V is not compatible with 2s lithium packs.
ParkBEC 6V cannot power multiple digital servos.

SportBEC is the higher capacity version of our best-selling ParkBEC product. SportBEC powers your receiver and servos much more efficiently than a standard BEC. As many as 8 servos can be powered without worrying about an overheating BEC. SportBEC works great up to very high voltages, and is especially suited for "sport" aircraft and glow conversions. SportBEC is usually a necessity at 4s and above when running high torque or digital servos. SportBEC's output is selectable between 5V/6V using a small slide switch. The 6V setting gives more speed and torque to the servos, and is especially useful for helicopter flyers. A red LED indicates when 6V is selected. Many people don't realize that their ESC's BEC rating is misleading. With the linear BEC built into most speed controls, the current rating decreases as pack voltage increases. For example, several popular 25A ESCs with "3A" BECs are only capable of supplying 0.5A when running from a 3s pack. Because it is an efficient switching regulator, SportBEC can supply its full rated current of 3.5A all the way up to 8s. Many design hours were spent on SportBEC to ensure it does not create radio interference. It uses a shielded inductor and optimized layout, so you can use it without fear of glitching. SportBEC installs between your ESC and receiver, so you don't have to modify your speed control to disable its internal BEC. For best results, ensure that the SportBEC is installed at least 2 inches away from your receiver and antenna. Additional notes If you are using small servos make sure they can run at 6v. Some sub-micros, notably the Hitec HS-50 and Futaba S3154, can be damaged by a 6v supply. Specifications: Model: SportBEC
