    Default What receiver battery and bec/regulator?

    Could anyone recommend me what battery size (I'm assuming 2s voltage?) and BEC/regulator I should use for my N9? The battery I'll be ordering from HobbyKing if they have it in stock and would prefer to get a very reputable BEC/reg for it.

    Haven't flown nitro for about 10 years so a little out of date on what people use these days!

    Thanks in advance

    Flighttech 8amp regulators work really well, and cheap.

    2s 2200mah is normally a good place to start.

    Looks good, I would look at the Outrage packs though on FL.

    Thanks Sacko.

    I'm doing a HobbyKing order anyway and the model won't be in the air for at least another 3 weeks so no rush.
