Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Yes Dave assuming your ESC has a BEC - which is almost certainly the case. Just plug the ESC Rx connector into the throttle channel of your Rx and the power Lipo will also power your radio. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 If you have a Futaba radio you will need to reverse the throttle channel to get the escs throttle working correctly....DO NOT fit the prop or remove it if already fitted before connecting the battery.....if the prop starts turning unexpectedly it will probably injure you. Don't fit the prop until you are confident that all operates as it should.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Green Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hitec throttle is conventional sense, low 1ms, high 2ms so no need to reverse as you do with Futaba. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
