beastx and CC Bec Pro

[PilotPhil]

where do you plug the two leads from the CC BEC PRO? im guessing AUX 2 & 3 leaving bind the only port free?

and obviously removing the red wire from the esc into the BX.

thanks.

I don't think you have to worry about the red core if you are using the Hv Phil. If you are using the Lv then don't they have a BEC included so no need for the BEC, just looked the ICE 100a has a 5 amp included. If you are going to add the CC BEC Pro then you do indeed need to remove the red core.

[PilotPhil]

thanks, my main question is the two plugs from the CC bec which ports do they use?

im having to live with castle ice esc, and turnigy lipos, right now I cant afford the jive or optipowers until a later date.

Any spare channels on the Beast then

[asomaro]

If its any help I use a spare channel on the rx for one of the leads and the other one is connected to the system port on the BeastX. This provides some diversity and negates the need to use two channels on the rx.

You only need the power and neg leads so if you are short of channels on the rx then you could use the spare pos and neg pins on the "gear" channel as that only uses the signal lead so the other pins are usually spare.

I have my bec pro (on my 550 and 500) cabled into the rx on one spare channel and the other lead directly into the Beast - works well.

Simon, he's using the AR7200Bx which only has Aux2 and 3 spare. I don't know about using the data/bind port. I wouldn't, but I suppose they must be on the same rail

Hi bud,
I was under the impression from the thread title that he was using a beastx fbl controller and that's why I mentioned it, so now I understand that he is using the BeastX Spektrum version! Oops! I don't have that one but a quick message on the BeastX forum (within the beastx site) might clarify what can and can't be used?

Cheers,

[PilotPhil]

sorry I sould have said its a spektrum beastx, I only have the bind, aux 2 & 3 ports free and require 2 ports for the CC BEC PRO but manual doesnt advise on anything regarding this.

[waveydavey]

As above Phil, use Aux2 and 3 which uses the same rail for suply, it's what I use with a 2300Mah LiFe pack. I wouldn't use the dat/bind one, not saying you can't I just wouldn't

[PilotPhil]

so its safe to use both aux 2 & 3?

thanks

I hope not, it's what I'm doing and can't see why it would be a problem. Please enlighten me Stan.

Take no notice of Stan hes got his head stuck up his backside lol. Lots of us use castle and they don't all crash and burn ;-) ......or is that burn and crash :-)

[sacko]

Agreed. That combination has only been in use over the last 5 years!

Kontronic ESCs are also prone to failure!

Id imagine its yet another product he hasnt used, but feels the need to comment on.

[stanley1]

Ohhhh listne to yourselves, no sence of humour. Thats the general attitude on this forum though so its to be expected.
