So I'm collecting parts and kit on a new heli. It's going to be a HV setup. 6S. 100A CC ESC. Ikon.
My question for the HV gurus here: Do I need to run a BEC (such as CC BEC Pro) or can I run straight off a 2S lipo pack?
I believe the answer is that I can run off a dedicated Rx 2S lipo pack. Need some guidance to be sure.
Next: Assuming I can run off 2S lipo direct, should I? The BEC can pump out 8.4V consistently, as opposed to the 2S lipo direct which will trail off as it is drained. Also need to recharge the Rx pack separately every few flights. The benefit to direct off lipo, as far as I can tell, is high current delivery capability both sustained and for handling peak draws. BECs powered off 6S typically have reduced current delivery capability (maybe 13A, I think, on the CC BEC Pro on 6S source, 20A short duration peak).
Need guidance.
