Hello Everyone,

Are there any good voltage regulator or BEC recommendations? Want to input about 7-9 volts and output a steady 7.4v if possible. Never used one so not sure which ones are good. Thank you!
 
Been using these since mid 2000's. He also has one for external power but that more geared toward crawlers.

Adding an external BEC is something I’m contemplating, but can’t wrap my head around soldering tiny wires from the BEC to the ESC wires that are 8AWG. Yes im electric 5th scale for now. Maybe gas when/if I get into racing.

You won't need a BEC with your setup. HW's BEC's are rock solid in my experience. If you went external BEC i would go with the Castle 20amp to feed a hungry servo, lights etc.

When somebody like Holmes Hobbies sells Castle and doesn't make his own that say a lot.
