I have a 2200 2S RX lipo lying around. But i'm going to run it of the main pack. My friend with the same set up has been running it of the internal BEC, but it says not to if the blades are longer than 425mm. He's had no probs, but i would rather not chance my pride and joy for the sake of $30.

Yes, that seems strange. Isn't the BEC in reality just a voltage regulator?

What they are saying is you can not use 2 BEC's in parallel or series. Running two batteries is not an issue. Just make sure to pull the positive wire out from the ESC where it plugs into the Rx. Or, if you can shut off the BEC in the ESC, you can do it that way as well. According to that note, you will be just fine running the 2s with the BEC.

That is correct. I don't know why anyone would want to run a LiFe battery AND an ESC, but if they are stating this in the manual, then someone has done it lmao.
I would put the 2s in there, wire it up to the BEC for power to the servos and Rx (you can run a shut off switch with this setup!), then pull the center wire out of the ESC plug and get max flight times. Plus, more equal power to your servos and less of a chance for signal loss by bogging down the ESC's BEC.

I think you missed a bit of the thread Tony. I'm not using the internal BEC in the ESC. I have bought a separate CC Pro BEC designed for 12S flying. I think the RX battery is not needed.

DISASTER!!!!
Well it had to happen. After more than one year, i have finally put the 600 in.
I can take full responsibility that i dumb thumbed it. Gave too much collective in a Piro flip.
But one very strange thing happened. I actually recovered just before it hit the ground. But then suddenly after centring the sticks it flipped over in a split second and hit the deck inverted and hard????
I mean it was as if the controls were behind what was actually happening.
I'm a bit confused and can only say, I got away with things lightly.
This was buried into the ground when i went to pick it up. Tail was caked in mud, landing gear was broken off.
Once i returned home and stripped it down, the only things broken were:
Main Blades, Vertical stabiliser, Base plate and 4 teeth on the main gear. Oh and a couple of cracks in my nice canopy
This bird is amazingly strong. No shafts bent, nothing damaged in the tail, even though it dug a hole in the ground.
Well it may be benched for a while as i can't afford to get the blades just yet. Everything else i have here.
I am doing a thread about what to check after a crash.
