Castle Creations is pleased to announce the production of the CC BEC™ switching regulator. This product offers high power, small size and incredible flexibility to all who wish to power their receivers and servos directly with the motor batteries. The CC BEC™ takes input voltage up to 25 volts (6S) and steps it down to a user-selectable voltage between 4.8 and 9 volts. The default setting is 5.1 volts, but the voltage may be changed in 1/10th volt increments using Castle Link™ (sold separately). Castle has taken great care to minimize RF interference.
The CC BEC™ is designed to offer up to 10 amps peak current for 30 seconds, up to 7 amps continuous current at inputs under 12 volts, and 5 amps continuous current with inputs under 25 volts. That’s gobs of power for almost any number of servos and the possibilities of employing this product anywhere a stable voltage is required from a battery source are endless. Ever wanted to run the newer servos that are capable of 8 or 9 volt inputs? Now you can! RC CAR racers and 3D / Pattern guys will love the ability to tune their servo voltage to increase control power and response of their mounts.
Just 1.2” by 0.6” by 0.4” (30mm x 15mm x 10mm), and weighing only 0.4 ounces (11 grams), the CC BEC™ sets the standard for power to weight ratio in this category. CC BEC™ offers great opportunities for weight reduction in smaller models. Replace a 4.8 volt AA pack and save up to 3 ounces!
The technical merits are obvious, but the price is incredible. CC BEC™ offers a street price of about $24.00! At that price and weight, pilots can use several for critical redundancy and no voltage drop in large aerobats with the latest high current servos.
