| ecs plugs into the ch 2 port, some of the tq3 rx's don't have a bec function so you may have to use a cc bec or reciever battery pack |

| your ECS will have a BEC built in to it, so hook the ECS to ch. 2 and front steer to ch 1 and the rear to ch3. You can run a sepreat battery back for the rx and the servos, BUT you have to pull out the red wire form the radio plug on the ECS to do so, then you just plug the rx battery into the batt spot on the rx |

| The esc will power it. I personally like the ccbec's but you can get by with just plugging the esc in the #2 slot and the servos in #1 and #3. |

| WOW! You may really want to ask a mod to move this over to the newbie forum. All of this will depend on the ESC you use, or more importantly, the BEC rating of that ESC. And then it will depend on the servo(s) you are using. If you are only running a single servo (steering), then most ESCs out there with a BEC will handle the load. If you put in a super high torque steering servo, or another servo on Ch. 3, a high BEC ESC, or an external BEC will probably be needed. The ESC will never plug into Ch.1. On the TQ3 RX, steering servo goes into 1, ESC goes into 2, and whatever Aux. you want to run goes into 3. This would be the point where you would want to list the specific equipment you want to run, and the specifics of the electronics you want to run. Your posts so far are really too generic to answer correctly. |

| ok I will be running two steering servos. for the 4ws that I have setup. and that will be it for now. later on I might add a dig setup but i will cross that bridge when I come to it. so for now I will just have the 4ws. so what will I need to run the 4ws? |
