RE: What's a BEC
BEC stands for Battery Eliminator Circuit. A BEC is a voltage regulator that's usually built into the electronic speed control that provides 5 Volts to the receiver and servos.

RE: What's a BEC
In other words, you don't need a separate receiver battery with BEC. Lots of pro and con talk about them. I've been using them since 92 and I've never had a problem (except for the time I added one too many servos).
