Mangoman: The input into the BD is direct into the ESC's BEC. Therefore powering the +ve and -ve wires out of the ESC and whatever they plug into. This argument was brought up when the ESC first came out and wooped everything. The speed has nothing to with the receiver pack cause if it did the receiver pack wouldn't last a single lap. Its just dynamic timing same as any decent ESC on the market.
Your assesment of the bec/rx pack is very accurate. There's no cheating going on wuth the BD. It's a great product. It's just retarded that it has to be sent in for a simple software upgrade.
My electronics package is simple: Futaba 9650 servo, set so there is NO overrun. I use maybe 50mah per run. If your endpoints aren't properly set you'll burn through WAY more mah per run. If you set it up properly, you should make 3 runs with ease.
