Default PMD ESC Fuel tank

Alright fellas I was hoping someone could help me out with this. I love the idea of using the normally wasted fuel tank for the board location but Im not very tech savy and dont quite understand whats all included as far as function goes here.

I dont know what BEC means, if someone could enlighten me please? And if the "full power forward and reverse" means it doesnt have the graduated speed at part throttle or it just means I get the same power/speed in forward as i do reverse?

Thank you for the help

BEC is the short form for battery eliminator circuit. Way back you use to have to run a separate battery pack to supply power to the receiver and servos. Then they came out with BEC's, some built into the receivers, some built into the on/off switch but are now only in the ESC. So if PMD gives you the choice if you want to run power to the receiver from the ESC you get the one with the BEC. If you are running your receiver from a separate supply you'd buy the one without a BEC.
Now as for the full forward and reverse. Some ESC's will only give you 50% reverse and that's all but with PMD's they give you 100%. That's all that means but it will still be graduated.

Thank you, I probably would have ordered the wrong one. So you sure helped me.
