Just take out the red wire for bec, plug and play.

Works for me and mine is Ver.1

[TwzteD]

u dont run the stock bec?

[ray schrauwen]

No, never. I prefer a Ubec or a set of 4-5 cell Nimh.

Everyone has a prefference I guess. I would rather have all my esc's be Opto if i could have it. Just more reliable in general.

[TwzteD]

i understand so what do you use with this esc insted?

[ray schrauwen]

To me there is no point in saving weight. Less components is nice but, at what expense?

If you are running 6S I think your esc is busy enough. Bec just adds to its work load. I know I will get people that disagree... thats normal.

I'm with Ray....From day one I never ran bec on brushed rigs and never had issues or glitching. I tried it on one cheaper ESC and felt is was all it could do so I snipped the red one and went with a pack. CLEAN POWER is what I want.

Sounds odd, but the last time I used a receiver pack was on an RC10 before I saved up enough to buy a Novak. Believe that was 198<cough>

I've only experienced one issue with twitching while using the BEC and that was with an FM radio. Switched it to 2.4Ghz and worked smooth, so never tried a separate BEC power source.

I don't run any setup to the max or even close to hard duty, but have found it interesting that so many people have had issues with BEC's.

I'm switching most of my setups to use a separate BEC, but mostly because of 3s limitations on some ESC's.

No preference or influence... just sharing my experiences. Carry on.

PS the Osprey is leaving HK this week.

[TwzteD]

new power plant arrived today! esc hopefully soon! thanks jesse j.

[ray schrauwen]

Ouch! Thats gunna hurt real bad...

Nice motor.

I was going to buy an Osprey hull only but, Promise Hobby came out with a decently priced Carbon/Kevlar 39" DF copy. Nice and light!

I should have it in a few weeks, it takes them abot 10 days to get one made start to finish before they ship out.

[TwzteD]

Gonna Hurt WHAT!!! lol

[ray schrauwen]

The water...lol...

[TwzteD]

im gonna attempt to gut the stuff from the inside then lay carbon and put stringers and side supports, i bought balsa wood, is that good? i plan on using westsystem to soak the balsa wich is very porous trying to keep it as light as possible

amen!!

[ray schrauwen]

I would use 1/4" ply, its pretty much standard for stringers. Balsa is for airplanes if that...

Side support? Is it that flimbsy?
