HiTec EZX-R Pro
Hi Mike,
I am waiting for my new speed controller to arrive. Its the ezx-r pro. I am using it in a boat with twin 550's on gearboxes and 12 volt Lead Acid batteries.
Is it better to run the reciever and servos from the battery pack that came with the Electron 6 Reciever. If so what needs to be done to bypass the BEC on the speed controller.
Thanks

RE: HiTec EZX-R Pro
Hitec's catalog suggests the BEC is good for 800mA or .80 amps. Another Hitec source suggested 5 amps; I'll have to verify this, I beleive .80amps is accurate. In any event if you have more than a few servos that are used under extreme conditions I would look at utilizing an auxiliary power supply for the radio system.
To disable the BEC remove the RED wire from the ESC's pigtail, insulate and secure the lead.

RE: HiTec EZX-R Pro
That Helps alot. What I have is a medium size servo for the rudder
and I gutted 2 damaged servos and am using the electronics from the servos to run 180 size motors geared way down to operate the rear crane. What I read somewhere I dont remember where is that if you do not use the bec the voltage the speed controller can handle is higher. I have been running it with the BEC on 2-6 volt gel cells in series to produce 12 volts and have not had any problems. If I could lighten the load on the controller however I would like to. The added wieght on this boat is really not an issue.
Thanks Again.
