  • Power specs?

    After reading another thread on the forum regarding power requirements I began to wonder about my own setup.
    I couldn't find any mention in the BeastX manual of power capabilities.
    What i would like to know is how much current can be passed through the BeastX to the servos?
    It would seem that the power is delivered from the Rx through a small servo lead connected to the ele and ael inputs on the beast. Is this going to be man enough to allow 4 power hungry servos to operate effectively?
    Do I need to make a loom up to bypass the power bus and have them connected directly to the reg?
    Ade.

    The supply to the beastx unit is no different than using an Align 2 in 1 to a standard rx. Which isn't the best as that is a single lead but it seems to work okay.

    I think so long as you use two leads to carry power to the unit it will be fine, but use the best (thickest) servo leads you can find to minimise resistance and volt drops. The tracks on the pcb should be made as wide as possible and should be able to handle the power without too much trouble due to the close proximity of the connectors.

      I use 2 leads to the unit from my ESC after having this recommended to me also.
