Does the hobbywing quicrun need a bec?

 

[BobTeagle]

The hobbywing quicrun and castle Mamba Monster both have internal becs that put out higher voltage than the RTR esc (ie sidewinder 8 )

The point of an external BEC is to increase voltage to the servo to get optimal performance.

That being said if you must choose a servo that performs on whatever voltage you apply.

I chose a servo that puts out 500oz torque on 6v so the Hobbywing is sufficient without an external BEC. I use a glicthbuster capacitor to keep the brown outs away.

Racingluxury,
Spec wise that setup would work on 4s, but you might have heat issues with a rig this size. I would pay a little more and get this instead.
