MSH 60A ESC by YGE

I am trying to find out the specs of the BEC of this ESC, and have read contradicting reports/specs.
Is it enough to power a Protos 500, with DS9660A+ cyclics, a DS760 tail servo all being run by a Helicommand HC3-SX with twin sat rx's?

I think it is in the region of a 3A BEC, but how do I find out what current the servo's can pull?
I have a spare CC BEC Pro I could possibly fit, but this may be overkill.
The last thing I want to see is my heli fall out of the sky due to a brown out.

Its quite difficult to find stalled current figures for servos, but if those servos all stalled at the same time you would definitely exceed the 3A (5A peak) bec rating. But then you would already be crashed!

I think its overkill to install the CC Bec, but if in doubt install it.

It also depends on the type of flying you do, basic stuff you will be fine, insane 3D, may draw an average current that may overheat the BEC's circuit.

The manual seems pretty clear on the spec: http://www.msheli.com/Manual/MSH%206...%20english.pdf

3A continuous, 5A peak.

The manual also suggests using a buffer pack alongside the BEC, if you are worried, that would seem like a good idea.

Two downsides of using the buffer pack would be weight and where to put it on the helicopter, If I was using a buffer pack I would use a "stay-charged" nimh pack, to reduce the need for constant recharging.

Thanks Mark.
It must have been a long day, as I completely missed that!
Apparently I need to maintain 5.5v, so I should be ok for my flying style at the moment, as I mainly sport fly at the moment.
