Hi Paul
I was runnings my big Seb Arts on stand alone BEC's, specifically so my motor batteries were only doing that, supplying power to the motor.
You only need to run a 2S battery to run your reciever. Most of the big helis also run the same setup. My Trex 600 was setup this way as well, so even if you kill your flight battery you have stand alone supply for your servos. Your 2S battery supply goes into the battery/bind plug, Once you plug a supply into that the electronics negate the throttle input that comes from your ESC.
I was running a 900mAh battery on my Ttrex 600 through an Align 5 amp BEC and that would give me at least 6 to 8 flights before needing a recharge.

Hope this info helps
