Default Speed passion esc bec ?

Ok I am about to start to install all my electronics on my mugen eco and while going through all my paperwork, I notice that the esc's bec doesn't appear to support hv servos? Is this correct or did I miss something ? I have the silver arrow v2. Please help me.

Ok in the listed specs it has
BEC output 5.75v@3a Switch mode built in BEC.


But it is NOT listed in programmable items

I don't think it has ever been programmable?

It "supports" HV servos in the sense that they will run just fine, but only at the voltage provided by the BEC. There is no ESC I know of (maybe the VTX8) whose BEC provides the 7.4v limit those servos have. In order to get the high speed and torque capabilities of your servos, you need to run a lipo direct to your receiver (if it supports HV) or use an external BEC.

You picked up a Futaba 9352 servo right? That is already a very fast servo with enough torque at regular voltage. I would just plug it in and run it. Won't hurt anything. Already faster than many prefer in 1/8 scale.

If you find it really isn't enough, then worry about complicating things with an external BEC at higher voltage for slightly better performance.
