Your ESC has a built in BEC. The BLX185 does not have an option for 7.4v, it is firmware blocked.
An aftermarket bec can supply more voltage and as importantly more amperage. Many high end servos require high amperage as well as 7.4v or sometimes more.
you can use the stock esc to power the fans, and use the external bec to supply the higher voltage and amperage to the servo.
Are you talking about a cooling fan set for the motor?Ok..
Mm.. i might need 12V for fans and 7.4V for servo..
So will i need two?..

Those are the fans I use and recommend. Many people here use them. And they run fine on the bec on the stock esc. As far as changing the fan on the esc, there really isn’t a reason to do that unless the stock one was damaged.
No, typically they are single voltages. You can split the output to many devices as long as the current doesn't exceed the capability of the BEC. Use a simple y-splitter or DIY your cables. I run 3 fans, servo and receiver off my stock ESC i.e. this isn't a big deal if you can add current draw and do simple math.But can one BEC supply to two consumers which have differant supply voltage?
I agree on the 6v servo. Yes I run 7.4 and external bec’s on my rigs but really it’s not needed.No, typically they are single voltages.

Fan's run at 5-6V you can still run the fans off the ESC while you use a BEC for servo only.
Personally I'd get a 6V servo instead.
You could use your receiver as a power splitter for your fans and the servo after installing a bec or use an extra splitter like this:Ok.. that is great information for me ?
So can u pls guide what should i do?
1) I have 2 NTF fans - Better to run on 2s battery right?
2) what about the servo?
Buy a better ESC which can control the volts outpus nor a BEC?
I gonna run that servo on my Mojave:

Thank you guys.. ?
Holy cow, that is one big servo. A wee bit of overkill to say the least but it's your choice.

Why would you pick such a high torque servo though for a Mojave? Stock is fine and even that is a bit overpowered to my understanding.
If you put on 3.8 Trenchers that would be a different story but tehy don't fit without major rework.
A lot faster and capable servos out there that don't require all these mods that make your rig more unreliable.
