SportBEC is a switch-mode BEC specifically designed for sport planes, glow conversions, helicopters and more. It is designed for use with flight batteries from three to eight lithium cells, or up to 21 Nickel cells. The generous 3.5A current rating ensures a large safety margin when powering multiple servos. The product incorporates a throttle pass-through feature, which allows you to simply plug it in and go, without having to modify your ESC. SportBEC is designed for use with ESCs that are already lithium-aware and have the proper cutoff voltage.
This document provides step-by-step installation instructions for the Dimension Engineering SportBEC. It covers standard installation with Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) that have built-in Battery Eliminator Circuits (BEC), as well as specific procedures for opto-isolated speed controls or those without BECs.
The guide details how to connect power wires, integrate the radio connector into the receiver's throttle port, and secure the unit to the airframe. It also includes recommended servo configurations based on type and quantity.
The SportBEC is designed to supply up to 3.5 amps.
For best results, ensure that the SportBEC is installed at least 2-3 inches away from your receiver.
Ideally you want the unit mounted in a spacious area, with lots of airflow around it to ensure good cooling.
