OK. The CCBEC replaces a receiver pack. Put simply, it takes electricity from your batteries and uses it to power your receiver/servos etc. It plugs into the battery connector port on your receiver, the same as you would an Rx battery. You notice that a lot of cars come with a little 4 AA adaptor harness for the batteries? well 4 AA'a is either 5v (for 1.2V NiMH or NiCD cells) or 6v (for 1.5v alkaline cells). Also notice that when you buy a purpose built receiver pack it is 5 cell NiMH, which is 6V.

The purpose of the CCBEC is to take whatever voltage your main battery pack is (14.8V in your case) and transform it to be a normal Rx battery pack voltage (which is what you can adjust) So choose 5V or 6V. the higher the voltage gives faster higher torque servos, but for any regular RC car servos, anything above 6V you risk overheating and damaging the servos.
