RE: Is this BEC diagram correct?

Yep, I did all that with a Y connector. The problem is, I'm running 3s x 2 = 6s

I'm hoping I don't have to rewire it. Too much voltage going to the BEC like that you think?

RE: Help a noob. Please. BEC, ESC, New Servo for Flux.

But there's no harm in just pluggin in the servo to the receiver as is, right? It will just receive lower voltage correct and may operate a tad slower?

RE: Confused as can be with chargers.

I'm converting this truck to 1/5 scale, so the 6C will be required to move the thing as it's heavier. I bought the duratrax dual charger, at least it will work for now as I've spent a lot on the...

RE: Confused as can be with chargers.

So is running the HP flux motor @ 0 timing wrong? Will it damage anything. I wish I wrote down what the original setting was. Will take a year to figure out the original settings.

Thanks guys. I ended up getting two 3S 5000mah 20C packs. The HPI flux I think wants 30C.
