The BEC allows me to switch the ignition from the TX. IMHO it is a very important safety factor.
"I understand that the "C" rating IS the max discharge rate for high energy situations."
That is my understanding too.
I have been checking my old AA NIMH 5-cell packs. They are nothing fancy, just tenergy cells. They are in better shape than my newer brand name A123 26650 cells. They are right at original capacity, 2000 mah. At 5 amp discharge they get warm but deliver the current. The pigtails get warm too.
IF the wires in the power system are the limiting factor on how much current can be delivered, why am I using batteries that can pump out 50 amps?
