The VR-3 is a
switch-mode DC regulator. It will take high-voltage (5.5V-23V) power
from your battery pack and convert it to a consistent safe voltage
for your receiver, gyro and or servos. A selectable jumper allows for
either 5V or 6V to power your systems. The included instructions
describe how to setup the VR-3 very easily!

Why would you need an
Voltage regulator/BEC?
1)If you are running a
gas plane and would like to use one of your li-poly batteries to
power your servos. The VR-3 would connect between the battery and
your receiver and can run up to 8 standard servos.
2)You are running an
electric plane and your ESC does not have a BEC built in, or it is
too small. In this case you can wire the VR-3 in to the receiver to
provide adequate power to your micro servos.
3)You want MORE POWER
or SPEED from your servos. Most ESC provide 4.8~5.0V to the receiver
for the servos. If you plug in the VR-3, your servos can run at 6.0V
which produces more torque and faster response! This is for the
serious 3D pilot!
