OK so the one ESC I have works just fine until the LiPo cutoff come up at which point the receiver browns out, motor keeps running but the entire system, or at least the 3 axis stabilizer, browns out and all my control surfaces do a full deflect and return to normal operation. So my question is, is it totally a bad bad no no to use 2 ESC's with BEC's?? Why 2? Because I have a brushed ESC functioning as an LED switch but it has it's own separate power pack. (2 cell for the plane and a small 3cell for the 12v lighting) I've pluged it all in and it all appears to work just fine but better to be safe than sorry so I thought I'd ask the fine FT experts here if it's ok. Tested the brushed ESC and it can only power the system for 45 seconds before the BEC on it (brushed one) does an oscillating failure BUT I only need to maintain power for about 5 seconds for the primary brushless ESC to stabilize. Again just need to know if 2 BEC's are bad. I felt I should ask after seeing so many MR ESC combo packs with 3 standalone ESC's and only 1 with a BEC.
EDIT: 2 is 1, 1 is none! Always have a backup!
