This controller has no BEC. The manufacturer recommends that bots using lower voltages that might dip below 12V should install a BEC or seperate controller battery pack (same AH size as a reciever battery). If the voltage to the Sidewinder goes below 12V, it will probably reset. The case is very strong and reasonably dust proof, although it is hard to take apart once wiring has been installed. Usually required an inline booster if used with conventional radio equipment (to drive the opto's). Make sure to install cable ties on the FET heatsinks as described in Cobra's build page.
