Another noob needs help with a incoming quad

[bc6]

Hey guys Im very new to the world of quads but not so new to e-helis and other RC vehicles. I decided to get my feet wet with a Hubsan X4 now I want more. I ordered a DJI F330 kit which I think I'll really enjoy a lot size wise and repair cost wise. The kit I purchased does not come with a BEC, it comes with the standard DJI electronics package (listed below). I need to know what kind of BEC should I get (please post a link) to the one you think I should get thanks.


- 1 Hobbyking KK2.0 Multi-rotor LCD Flight Control Board
-1 x DJI F330 Quadcopter Frame
- 4 x 18A OPTO ESC
- 4 x 2212 Motor
- 2 pair x 8" Propeller CW & CCW

Bc6,
any 5V Ubec should be fine, if you are only powering the K than a 5 amp will work. I'm surprised it dosn't come with some sort of power module.
"Input Voltage: 4.8-6.0V (from Hobby king)"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-SELLER-...adio_Control_Control_Line&hash=item2328776b66 this should work, or type UBEC in the search bar on ebay and pick one out. You won't need the Ferrite ring (that green thing most of them have their wire wrapped around) unless you are powering a FPV gear. I would take it off and toss it.

Thanks stuntonflyer, I'll pick one up asap. I guess it kind of make sense not to include a ubec so the user can choose what type of fc he/she wants to use. Just my uneducated noobish thought lol.

No problem, most FC either have a power module (bec) of some sort or are backfeed from the ESC, looks like the KK dosn't and Opto ESCs don't have a BEC built in. I just had to do the same thing on a build with Opto ESCs.

Frame kits never come with any electronics except maybe a power distribution board (PDB).
