It's a battery eliminator circuit. It borrows power from the model's drive motor battery and provides it to the receiver so there is no need for a dedicated receiver battery.

so then you use a BEC in every electric application or is there some that do not need to use a BEC?

RE: what is a BEC?
I use a Castle Creations 10A BEC on my heli. The ESC had a built in BEC (2A) that did not offer enough current. My servos were jittering and the ESC was getting very hot just programming the radio. The 10A BEC has more than enough current capacity for 4 servos and a gyro.

so let me se if i got this. the BEC helps regulate the power that goes to the servos, gyro and receiver so that you dont fry the most expensive things on your heli.
