CC Edge, external BEC and vBar mini governor

Good morning,

I have two questions.

1)
I have a mini-vBar and I purchased a Castle Edge 120HV. I understand the white wire must be connected to RX-A and the Edge must be programmed to output RPM on the white AUX cable. All that is clear.

But what's not clear to me, is how to connect the BEC. My BEC has 2 outputs that must both be connected to the mini vBar. I intend to use 2 specktrum satelites so there is no external receiver. I can connect as follows:

RX-A - RPM output from ESC
RX-B - BEC power (6 V)
RX-C - ESC wire (throttle)

Where do I connect the second BEC wire? All ports are in use. I am unsure and I don't find this anywhere...

2) One more question: can I safely use 6V as my BEC Voltage? I read somewhere that due to the RPM cable coming from the ESC, the voltage may not exeed 5V.

Thanks in advance for your time and effort!

No problem ... use a y-harness connected to RD,Ch1,2,3 or RXC.

Yes, you can. The RPM out from the esc has 5V max independent from the BEC voltage.
