Castle Creations CC Bec 10A 6S Switching Regulator

if you have an electric radio controlled car you probably have a BEC built into your electric speed controller ESC these usually have 5 to 6v output and about 2-3 amps when pushing the model to its max sometimes the ESC starves its own internal BEC and your radio might glitch or if its a 2.4 ghz it will loose connection and have to rebind...not a good thing when your going fast as this can take seconds for communications to be reestablished by mounting this bec directly to your batteries, it will not be starved for power, so the risk of the radio malfuktioning is much less, also this BEC is much more powerful, almost 10 amp at 6v this is a lot of power ! so even if you have very power hungry servos or are powering lights or something else this will do great with power comes risks and you have to be very careful not to short it out, this unit has no short circuit protection, and will burst into flames if shorted, but this shouldnt be a problem its fully programmable using the castle link usb device and a computer running the castle link software...this is unfortunately the only way to adjust it...many other BEC have jumpers to configure them...but with the computer you have the option of very finely tune the BEC in increments of 0.1v to get exactly the voltage you need this thing is a switching power supply, and will emit radio frequency noise, so it should be mounted as far away from your receiver as possible, i mount mine next to my ESC, the wire coming out of it is pretty long and should leave you with plenty of options...use servo or double sided tape to mount this will not only power your radio controlled models...but you can also use it for many other purposes, i have built a bicycle light system, where i use a 4S 14.8v lipo battery to power two P7 900 lumen LED's and a cree q5 red led...all powered by this little thing, those p7 led's are very powerful and the cree is no slouch either, but this little switching powersupply can feed them all 3, makes for a great bicycle light system with 1800 lumens in front and about 200 rearwards, it will have motorists notice you in traffic, making biking a bit safer in the dark this thing can not output more volts than its fed so for a 6v application your battery should be more than 6v, if the current drops below the set voltages the output of this BEC will be lower as well if your using it in wet applications you should shield it from moisture, thick divers silicone grease can keep water out or put a balloon around it great product, definably recommended

Nice bec for what I neede. I'm using it in a drone with a pixhawk controller and 4s lipo. This light weight bec can deliver a good 5 volts up to 10 amps. So far so good in my application. Works well.

Compact BEC for tight radio control installations. Very reliable unit and easy to set up.

This item was for a personal project and have two in use, operating flawlessly for as many years since they were purchased .

In my opinion, Castle Creations is the best name in the business. Every product I buy from Castle makes me realize how bad all the budget RC products I've been using really are. Castle products are worth spending a little more on. This BEC is no different. It has a very high output compared to it's size (It's about 2/3 the size of a AA battery). Being small, I figured it would get hot putting out 3-4 Amps, but it doesn't really. I can pull it off the heli and comfortably hold it in my fist discomfort. And then there's CastleLink... one tool that really puts CC products above the competition. I can program any output voltage in increments of 0.1V ! No more having to choose between 5V or 6V with a jumper. If I want 5.3V or 6.8V or whatever, it takes just a few seconds to change. This BEC makes me realize just how crude my old ones are.
