BEC or no BEC?
I've just added an S9650 tail servo to my t-rex but i'm concerned about my ESC Being man enough to handle it!
Motor is Align 430L, esc RCE-BL25G, 3 HS 65's.
Is anyone flying this configuration succesfully? or will i need to add a 3A BEC?

Hmm the G version is 4.7v i believe. I ran it with the X version (6v) for awhile and it did work, but it got pretty hot, and you're kinda asking for a failure. I'd suggest a bec like the dimension engineering SportBEC if you can spare the cash.

The 25A ESC may be not be able to withstand anything hard. Like at for throttle and full pitch you could be easily pulling 30A or more depending on your belt and pinion tension.
Personally I fly with BEC, because my servos will get that same voltage the whole flight without any power dips due to battery voltage dropping.
