BEC for Trex 500

[Dan22]

I have just got a Trex 500 EFL PRO and want to install a Castle BEC pro or similar.
What is the best way to connect in to the ESC, i.e is there an EC5 or similar connector that has provision for both BEC & ESC wires?

Thanks,
Dan.

I was using the supplied Align ESC when I had my 500 and I would think you could put both wires together from bec and esc into the EC5. If you cannot then you will have to strip a portion of the insulation away on the ESC wires then lay and solder the bec wires to the esc wires. Having done that slide some heatshrink over the joint to cover it up.

I have a Gryphon Polaris on my 500.

On my Esc, I wired 2x little 16awg wires into the ec5 along with he main esc cables, and put an xt60 female connector on there. Then I put the male xt60 on the bec so I can power the bec with a 3s lipo without powering the esc for set up etc.

So that looks good then that both the bec and esc leads will fit in the EC5.

I like the gryphon Polaris. Small lightweight and does the job for £25. What's not to like.

Oh and it has a bright white LED so it will bring bling as well!

I put a BEC pro in mine. Fits nicely in the frames. I wired it in parallel with the ESC to an EC5 connector.
