      Dontt any of the boat ESC's have the switching type BEC?

      What about a stand alone UBEC run directly from the battery?

      IIRC a 10A continuous runs about $20 and weighs next to nothing.

      ETA, found this.

      Castle Creations 20A (peak) Switching BEC - 010-0004-01 The Castle BEC Pro is a staple for RC jets and prop planes running high voltage LiPo packs. If you want to add a BEC capable of dealing with LiPo packs up to 12S (10S in planes) while adding quality and reliability, this is the perfect upgrade. This will ensure yo



      Not trying to sway anyone, just curious as this seems like a simpler setup.

        I used to use these really nice BEC's I think they were Hercules? could handle up to 20 amps. 2 caps and a voltage regulator and you could switch fro 4.8 to 6.6 volts by just changing a small plug. But with the extra wires they got to be a pain in the ass and I actually ended up either losing them or sellng them w boats.

          Yeah, western robotics makes them. The PRO Heli guys all use them and their running 4 servos plus electronics under severe flight conditions so power wouldn't be an issue.

          I dont race but I prefer to keep things as simple as possible and for me an added battery is just another thing to maintain and remember to charge.
