You have to be careful using the BEC, especially from CC because it is a switching regulator which cannot be run in parallel. It's really best not to use the BEC and set up a truly separate system.<br><br>Scott<br><br>

Guys,<br> Chris Moon just e-mailed me about some leads that were done at the factory. These leads run off your balance leads to a voltage regulator and allow your main battery pack to be utilized as a redundant receiver battery. It is NOT meant to be a primary but it will save 20+ grams if you're running 2 rx batteries. You still have to run the 2nd regulator for true redundancy but you eliminate the 2nd battery. These leads are factory made and eliminate the need to make them yourself with the concern about plugging in to the wrong cell. I know in my article, I was pretty much against doing this as a backup but, with Chris having this made at the factory, he has all but eliminated making a mistake by tying to the wrong cell. I have the link that I'll e-mail you off-list or you can just go to his website. I don't want to break the NSRCA list rules by advertising for him even though he advertises with the NSRCA. The leads are only $3.99 each and are found under the Connectors/Adapters listing.<br>
