Another great vid! The big problem long term is the heat created inside the internal BEC. Sure, a stock esc may output the amperage required, but amps are what create torque and create heat. On a trail run, many of the lower cost ESCs will either overheat or completely fail from the constant load that rock crawlers present. It's not so much "if", but "when".

@@RCReviewChannel yes, either measure the temp giving 1 second bursts every 5 seconds (or whatever duty cycle you choose) or simply watch the amp stability and voltage output over a few longer cycles. It won't be pretty for any of them except maybe the mamba and axe. Not sure what the axe really has inside, but the mamba is pretty stout BEC.

Amps shown in test do not mean that your BEC circuit can handle those amps as you do not know how much safety margin manufacturer gives at rated amps. 1080 result would make me very nervous for this servo as it is set to 7,4V according to video description but can only put out 4,5A that is close to 4,4 at AE-5 set to 6V. So massive voltage drop for 1080 and AE-5 is rated to 3A so that is overloaded in this test as well. Measured amps drawn from the BEC do not give any indication about how much it can handle.

I hate to be "that guy", I really do BUT...there is a *fundamental flaw* here that means you can take these numbers and toss them in the trash! You are measuring only *1* side of the equation therefore missing how much total *power* these ESC's can put out. It's what causes people to get brownouts when a servo stalls. Amperage may shoot up to 5 amps, but voltage may dip to 3 volts. Generally in these type of circuits, amperage goes *UP* as voltage goes *DOWN* . One cancels out the other. You need to measure both input *voltage and amperage* and calculate total *wattage*. Watts = voltage x amperage. Watts is total power output. So that ESC putting out 4 amp could be at 6 volts and put out 24 watts. (6x4=24) While the 5 amp ESC drops to 4 volts and only puts out 20 watts (5x4=20) and actually has LESS output! Edited for "bold" formatting.

But i think you would have to use a much higher amp user( sorry, english is not my first language) because if that servo only pulls around 5 amp, none of this Devices will Show if it can put out more. That castle bec for axample claims up to 10 amp Max output. And if a 1 amp rated Esc gives almost 5,what would for example the axe Esc be caoable of?

One other consideration for BEC and amp draw be it an external one or the internal one of an ESC is the combination of all electronics being powered by the BEC. I had a combination of one servo that was a little too power hungry with only a receiver being powered by the ESC in a touring car that had problems on these lines. The built in BEC of the ESC wasn't up to the task of providing power to the servo as well as the receiver. What would happen is the servo would cause the BEC to brown out (voltage would drop too much to try and keep up with amp draw) which would cause the receiver to glitch out from lack of power. I could negate the problem somewhat with a capacitor, but even then I would run into brown out situations (the combination was a Savox servo, Spektum receiver, an a Speed Passion receiver on 50C 4000mah 2S LiPo). I ended up replacing the servo with a different brand that had similar specs but lower current draw to fix the problem.

Thanks for sharing this. I've already watched your video when it aired. I might have a misconception in relation to servo amp draw and built in BECs... Will an amp hungry servo burn an integrated BEC? Or will the BEC just provide as much current as its limit allows (which is a built in safety feature)? This way the current will stay in a safe range? Or is the current the lesser problem while the generated heat is the dangerous issue? This is the main question. Example is my setup: Mamba Monster X 6s, integrated BEC has 8 A peak, voltage can be adjusted. My servo is a brushless one rated at max. 555 oz or 40 kg at 8.4 V. Planning to run it at 5.5 or 6 V on the integrated BEC. Torque would be around 31 kg at 6 V. Still crazy fast on 6 V. Will it burn out the integrated BEC? Does this combination NEED an external BEC? I ran this combination previously on an external BEC, which can put out 8.4 V at 8 A. It powered the servo directly, bypassing the receiver. I'm running this in an 8th scale truggy, not in a crawler.

Thank you for guys like you to help US save money, or build it right the first time! One thing I'd like to see you monitoring the voltage output when your doing the amp test on the BEC's along with the amp drawl. That way we can see the voltage sag as well when the BEC is getting pushed to its amperage limits. Course I'm probably one of the few people that would ask that..... after all what we experience in the form of "brownouts" or "glitches" from the voltage inconsistencies because of high loads. Course if you check out the video of my charging station on my channel, you'll see I'm a bit of a electrical nerd, who likes data. Considering I do alot of industrial electrical and robotics troubeshooting/repairs I'm very into that kinda stuff.. just not the serious math 😂🤣

If your servo draws way more amps than your ESC can ever provide, then a BEC is needed. Or a more powerful ESC. In your case, your ESC provides about 8 amps and your servo draws about 5 amps. So you are way good. For folks who have a servo that draws 6-8 amps, and have a stock ESC that provides, 3-4 amps, then they need one. Our series of servo tests and ESC tests now actually show what these devices draw.

I'm trying to find my way in this new world after a long break from RC cars since racing 12th scale road cars back in the mid 1980s. It looks like the kind of car I used to race is called a pan car now. I've bought a couple electric cars and just added an HSP 1/10 nitro rally car to my stable most recently. I've upgraded to an FS-GT5 TX/FS-BS6 RX combo and am working on installing a Dsservo DS3225SG to replace the stock steering servo, and decided to watch a few videos to demystify everything a bit, which led me here. My HSP 94177, being a nitro car, doesn't have an ESC and everything is now wired into the FS-BS6 receiver, but now I'm wondering if I should be using a BEC, or if a BEC is more important with electric motored cars where the motor might cause the voltage to sag low enough to keep the servo from working as it should? The other thing puzzling me at the moment is whether I have to remove a bunch of screws and remove the battery/receiver box to get the servo wire through the little hole at the bottom, or if I'm overlooking an easier way to get around the gap between the chassis plate and radio box being too tight to finagle the servo connector through the hole. I'm a little apprehensive about removing a lot of screws at once since I don't yet know what might unexpectedly fall apart into multiple pieces and become a pain to figure out how to reassemble. 😉 Then again, I guess that's how you learn and become more comfortable with the whole car, so I'll convince myself to "send it" momentarily. 😉😁👍

The version 2 Axe system claims to be able to make 6.0 amps @ 7.4v to the servo, which is one amp more than the original or version 1.

OK, so my WP1080 is as good as my Castle 10A. Neither would seem to be enough for four wheel steering when most affordable servos you recently tested pulled at least 3.5A. Assuming I'm running a pair of 3.5A servos off a 4.5A (tested output) BEC, what will happen? Will the servos just be weak, or am I risking frying something? Should I have a 15A or 20A (rated output) BEC for two 3.5A servos?

I am building the CROSS RC MAMMOTH with the HOBBYWING 1080 and two SAVVOX servos for steering as well as a servo for the gear box. Would you suggest a BEC be installed? Currently the vehicle tends to shudder intermittently when running straight. appreciate the advice.

Can the xl-5hv' 3.5 amp run a corally 7225hv ? It is rated at 347oz but i dont know the stall amp draw.

Yeah, it'll run. Lower amps may stall it a little sooner than spec but not by too much. It is worth a try for your application.

@@RCReviewChannel thank you. I might make a direct wire bypass harness for it if it's not enough at 6v, since it can take 8.4v and I don't use 3s.

Is there a difference in the amount of torque that the servos are putting out with the esc/bec compared to the control?
@RCReviewChannel
@RCReviewChannel 5 жыл бұрын
For sure yes. If it can't draw the amps, it has less torque and it stalls sooner. We didn't want to display it since we stalled the servo so much for filming that it got hot and was decreasing in torque due to heat.

Hi, I have a TRX-4 and I want to upgrade my servo to traxxas-2255. My question is, do I really need a BEC for this servo. From your test here it is clear the ESC can afford over 3 amps. Kindly suggest.

I purchased the popular 20kg amazon servos for my erevo 2.0 traxxas . Now i hooked them up now it won't turn while throttle on. Steering turns when stopped and when going in reverse it will turn under throttle . Do i need a BEC ? Traxxas thinks it is a receiver issue Are those frequent type of symptoms ? Thank you

Cool tests! Showing the amp draw is on the esc's bec outputs is only half the story. Be good to know what the voltage is dropping to. Receiver browning out and/or shutting off from low voltage isn't good for one thing.

Hi, I enjoy your channel very much. Woul dyou please advise on one topic? I am getting Futaba HPS-A700 servo for my Traxxas Trx4. I want to pair it with the Hobbywing Combo-XERUN-AXE540-2300KV-FOC-V1.1. Would you be able to advise if there will be external BEC required?

Wow great tests! Just bought a reefs 444 and running on the stock xl-5hv and was wondering if it was a waste of money considering the esc couldn’t put out more than 1 amp so would not be seeing any torque gain. Good to see the stock esc puts out 3.5. Wondering if the 1080 is the best upgrade to get an extra amp and perhaps better crawling speed modulation

1080 is the best. So many configuration options and can bump up the power for that servo as well.

Nice work as usual! Question.. When installing a HW 1080 ESC (for brushed) on my TRX4 Sport, do I plug it in to the same port on my 2260 BEC where the stock ESC is plugged in now? Don't want to burn anything up. Thank you!
