Power Distribution Block for RC – Choose Your Version: With BEC or Without BEC
Is your RC receiver glitching or cutting out when you power on your accessories?
The most common complaints in the RC community are "brownouts" (sudden voltage drops), twitching servos, and lost signal when connecting multiple high-performance cooling fans, heavy-duty light bars, and powerful servos directly to the receiver. The internal BEC simply cannot handle the load.
The Polo Creations RC Power Distribution Block is the ultimate solution. Available in two distinct models to match your specific setup needs, it acts as a power shield for your receiver—delivering clean, direct power to your accessories while protecting your electronics.
Which Model is Right for You?
1. Model WITHOUT BEC (Direct Voltage Pass-Through)
-
What it does: It passes power directly from your source to all connected accessories without changing the voltage.
-
Best for:
-
High-Voltage (HV) setups: If you are running high-voltage servos and fans that are already rated to handle your battery's direct voltage (e.g., direct 2S-4S LiPo power).
-
Using your ESC’s internal BEC: Perfect if you just want to split and organize the power already coming from your receiver/ESC without adding complexity.
-
-
Benefit: Ultra-lightweight, zero heat generation, and maximum direct power.
2. Model WITH BEC (Built-In Voltage Regulator)
-
What it does: It takes high voltage from your main battery (up to 12s) and steps it down to a safe, regulated voltage (e.g., 6V, 7.4V, or 8.4V) for your accessories.
-
Best for:
-
Preventing Brownouts: If your ESC has a weak internal BEC and you run multiple power-hungry 30mm/40mm cooling fans or heavy-duty servos.
-
Mixed-voltage setups: Ideal if your main battery is high voltage (3S to 12S LiPo) but your accessories (fans/lights) only support standard 6V or 7.4V.
-
-
Benefit: Maximum safety. Isolates your receiver entirely, ensuring it never loses power, while delivering stable amperage to your accessories.
Key Features & Benefits (Both Models)
-
⚡ Eliminate Receiver Overload: Completely bypasses the heavy current draw on your receiver. Prevent annoying signal dropouts and crashes.
-
🔌 Connect Up to 7 High-Power Devices: Ditch the cluttered Y-harnesses that create a rats-nest in your chassis. Plug in dual motor fans, ESC fans, lights, and servos in one centralized hub.
-
🏁 True Hobby-Grade Compatibility: 100% compatible with high-demand RC models from brands such as Traxxas, Arrma, Losi, Axial, and any other hobby-grade vehicle.
-
🛠️ Factory-Level Manufacturing Quality: Built on a heavy-duty, premium black PCB with high-end copper accents for excellent conductivity and professional aesthetics.
Technical Specifications
-
Pin Type: 2.54 mm standard pin headers (16 pins total).
-
Output Capacity: Up to 7 high-power devices in parallel.
-
Supported Input Voltage: * Without BEC: 1S to 12S (Matches input voltage).
-
With BEC: Steps down high voltage (up to 12S) to regulated output.
-
-
Board Color: Premium Matte Black PCB with high-contrast copper silkscreening.
-
Form Factor: Ultra-compact, vibration-resistant design optimized for tight spaces.
Bluetooth Remote Controller
Optional Bluetooth controller for light kits with 3 fully independent outputs. It gives you more features than the older button-style RF remote, including phone control, smarter light grouping, and better flexibility for headlights, taillights, and underglow.
Highlights: 3 independent outputs, iPhone and Android compatible, smart memory, plug-and-play setup, and clean control from your phone.
Multicolor Underglow Lights Bluetooth Remotely Controlled
Bluetooth RGB underglow lighting for RC builds, with phone control for colors, brightness, and lighting modes. Ideal for custom show setups, underbody glow effects, and plug-and-play installations.
Highlights: multicolor lighting, remote phone control, vivid underglow effect, and easy integration with existing light kits.
Note about remote control options: The button-style RF remote is being phased out from kits because of its high manufacturing cost, but it can still be purchased separately. The new Bluetooth Remote Controller offers more features and 3 fully independent outputs, compared with the single-output behavior of the older model.
