Why are you ordering a BEC Graham?
It has a 20A BEC built in.

Read that the power draw is too much for the Talon, so most are fitting the external PRO. I have a similar set up on my 550. Also extend the wires to the motor as some were failing there also. Another reason is i read about the internal single wire to the BEC can fail, so external one may stop frying the electronics. Belt and braces if you like:) I also have the Scorpion BUG as well:) The Irish Effect...To be sure,to be sure , to be sure:) Its on Castle website:)

Buddy of mine uses it on his 550L... He hammers on it! No failures. I read all the negative things when I built my 550DFC and opted for the 120HV.. But it may have been overkill... As I said.. Cortez is a smack 3D guy.. Hard! And he hasn't had one go bad..

Right, i went to plug in the Microbeast Plus Pro that i won 2 year ago and i cant get the rudder to change the settings?
I have double checked the TX settings, the travel on the rudder, the wiring to and from the Beast to the receiver. I have even tried a factory reset on the Beast and it wont even do that??
I have sent for the program usb to try that and update the program.
Any ideas??

Got my USB dongle for the Microbeast, plugged it in and updated the firmware to the latest version and it now works:) Possibly the new DX7 Gen2 would not connect on the old firmware.
The Beast did sit in a box in my mancave for over a year:) connected after the update and now i can change the settings with the rudder stick as normal:)
Now to set it up:)
Anyone know if you change the settings on Studio X do you still need to change them with the TX and rudder stick?
