Electronics is not my stong point and I need a little advice/help......apologies if this has been answered or in the wrong section.
I am running a 12s system with CC Edge 120HV ESC and a WR Hercules Super BEC G2. The ESC does not have an internal BEC. I bought a Scorpion Backup Gaurd in case of ESC failure; however, apparently I didn't research the application thoroghly and it will not power HV servos as its output is only 5V. The RJX FS0521 Servos' minimum operating voltage is 6V.
After further thought, since the BEC and ESC are connected to the 12s batteries in parallel at one connection point, if the ESC fails power is still directed to the BEC, which then powers my servos and Rx. Therefore, in the event of ESC failure in the air I will still have control of the servos and be able to land, correct?
I attached the BEC instruction sheet. The wiring diagram is on the lower left.
The reason I did not contemplate a 2s Rx battery straight to the iKON FBL is the weight. However, this might be the simplest, best way to go and just can the BEC idea....
