d4veb Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Is the bec any good on the 150 or should i fit an external one....if so which is recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The one on mine failed quite quickly.... and I ended up using a Turnigy external BEC. Was fine for a few weeks...then the ESC went up in flames, so I couldn;t comment on it;s long term effectiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I always run external, far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 LOL ... Losi 8T battery tray and ESC shelf....excellent quality and very heat resistant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsie Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have the XeRun 150 in both my Hyper 7 and Summit. No problems in either, and no reason to suspect that using an external BEC would be any better except for higher voltage for the servo.

.AJ. Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I've had 2, one had an issue when running 2/3s, but was fine on 4s+ and the other was only run 4s and coped with amp hungry Savox servos with no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen mark Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 if you do have issues,then a powercap sorted out mine,but it was only needed with certain servos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4veb Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks for that, I've got a couple of losi trays on their way so at least that bit will be fireproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
