So I recently got back into RC after a few years away. Back then I would routinely wire up a Castle BEC in addition to the ESC BEC. There was way to do it safely with a diode and some clever wiring that someone else gave me the know-how on. I can provide some links if anyone is curious....
Now that I'm back, I rarely come across any mention of separate BECs unless for large models with tons of high torque servos. Is it safe to say that the ESC BECs we get in the current lineup of Freewing and Flightline PNPs are reliable enough to not even consider a Castle standalone? What do you guys think?
For reference, I recently ordered a T-33 and the 1600mm Corsair. The T-33 is on the bench right now and the Corsair will follow in about a week or so. Would hate to lose either of them to equipment failure obviously, but don't want to take on unnecessary expense and complication if I can avoid it.
