Turnigy "Big Whopper" motor & Dual UBEC from HK

Take a look at this guy :

Described as a replacement for a 20 horsepower 100cc gas motor.

Also, a conceptually interesting "dual" UBEC :

FWIW I have one working CC BEC out of five, and the things have gone to straight input voltage on the output side occasionally and so far have smoked three Rx's of mine.

Here's a 5V / 6V selectable BEC I picked up from HobbyPartz for seven bucks. Will try soon

That motor is a monster! Glad I read about your BEC experience. I was about to pull the trigger on one but will do a little more reading on other people's results.

LMAO, I was about to post that monster as well,
need power anyone?

Personally the only ESCs I use with BEC are the AquaCraft ones. I use 5-cell NiMH cells or LiPos for power on all others. Even the aftermarket BECS have problems, a club member smoked a receiver with one.

Oh, I forgot, the ICE100 has been perfect for months using its BEC, which is good for up to 8S.

I use the BEC on the HK Sea Fire boat, works fine. Have not tried the Red Evo yet. If not, I use 2 - 18650 LiFePo4 cells
