CC60A without BEC enough for Trex 500?

[Alex Khoo]

whats the use of a BEC?

[zxyong]

BEC eliminates the use of a rx batt. There are 2 types of BEC, built-in to your ESC or a separate unit by itself.

Then there are another 2 types branched out from each of the above types, linear and switching.

Lets say your 500 uses 6cell battery, if your CC60A has built-in linear BEC, then a separate BEC is a must.

In any case, a independent BEC may save you when your ESC fails you.

which ESC will u recommend if i dont wan to use a external BEC

[bluemoscow]

Invest in a good BEC. It will be cheaper than a crash due to failure of ESC.

Get a peace of mind.

[johndyl]

the cc60 has a linear bec which is gd for upto 3s only. Get an external switching BEC to pair with it.

eg. turnigy 5A
HW 5A
cc BEC 5-10A
sportBEC

etc

btw the cc60 maybe abit small for the trex500.. for light and sports flying should be ok though..

you can check the ones available at Radio Control Sports.

I know a few ESC with built in switching BEC, eg. Align 60A (stock T500 ESC), Kontronic Jive, Hobbywing Platinum.

So far I've been using the Align 60A without any problem.

I intend to use this for my 500 size heli.
