__________B.E.C._____________QUESTION
I have a Futaba R142JE 2-Channel 75MHz AM Mini Receiver with BEC. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFAG6&P=V and I'am using a Hitec HS-805BB+ Mega Quarter Scale servo http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXN610&P=7 it says do not utilize the B.E.C. ___________________________ My question is how do I remove the bec from the receiver?
I will be running 4.8 volts -with 4 2600 Mah Batteries.
Thanks Dan

Hopefully someone else will chime in...but, I think to disable the BEC, you just plug in a Rx battery. Have you checked the manual?

BEC are usually more associated with the Electronic Speed Control(ESC).
The problem with more than two servos, or high torque servos, is that they tend to draw more current than a BEC is designed to provide. This will cause the servos to jitter and possibly the loss of control of the model.
If your ESC has a BEC, leave the switch in the off position, and connect a 4.8-6.0 volt battery pack directly to the reciever or via it's own switch.
Some people choose to cut the BEC switch off the ESC so that there is no chance of accidentally turning it on.
I often cut the BEC wires, and solder a two pin deans plug onto the ends. Just in case I find a situation where I will want to, or can, use the BEC in another model.

RE: __________B.E.C._____________QUESTION
In most cases the BEC is set at around 5 volts and a limited amount of current. If you plug a 6v pack into the battery slot it will drop it down to 5v or what ever. BEC's are most commonly found in AM receivers and ESC's.
To eliminate the BEC,(if no switch is found) wire the battery to the switch then to a "Y" harness that splits to the receiver(steering channel) and steering servo from the switch. Your high torque servo will gain most performance with a "Y" harness as it will receive maximum voltage and current.
I would actually recommend using the "Y" harness anyway. This will avoid drawing to much current through the receiver, full potential of the servo will be achieved, ect.

If I understand you correctly .---------------- IT should look like this ___________________YES______________or____________ ___NO?
