I get my mamba max pro with motor today. A lot of people suggest to get a BEC and not use on board BEC. I probably will end up getting a CC BEC with that field link card. I saw a picture, where that card is connected to a usb. Can I use that method to program my CC BEC, without buying the other field link programmer?
Thanks

You will only need an external bec if you are using a servo that draws a lot of current, you may even get by with just a cap

The Field Link card will allow you to program the ccbec and the ESC with the Castle Link software

Cheers

cap = capacitor?
How big of capacitor and between what do you connect it to?
Thanks

Plugs into spare RX slot to stop voltage dropping under load

thanks.
I will try capacitor method first.

The Field Link card does connect to USB and you can use it as a standard Castle Link as well as use it to update the preprogrammed settings on the Field Link card. I just got mine last week and it also included the USB card. Just make sure the first time you use it with a computer, just make sure you have an internet connection so you can update with the lastest software.
