Ahhhhhhhhh, makes total sense now. OK. if I have any requirements for higher voltage, then I'll use my CC BEC. I just want to keep the number of parts low and simple because this isn't for me, I'm trying to make a simple, standard, cookiecutter robot for RC nerds.

And since it is a switching BEC, that available amperage is good for all voltages from ~7v up to the max of 25v. BEC efficiency doesn't change all that much with supply voltage - it's the load current that makes it fluctuate. And switchers tend to be most efficient at around 75% of their max current rating from what I've seen.
As far as getting stuck in control loops, you outta put in a manual override so you can use a remote (at least for the testing phase). I can just see people running after an out-of-control Slash trying to catch it!  |
Yeah, I don't have a wireless kill switch yet.
