React and BEC

[Neil E]

This is what I have. I run a Super. Front steer, Rear steer, Throttle, and a servo for DIG. I use all Four Channels on my React.

I want to run a Sidewinder ESC to be able to use the Lipo 3S. I would like to add a BEC, beacuse the Sidewinder only puts 5.6V to the servos.

Question: How can I install a BEC and still use my 4th channel on my Nomadio React?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Is it the V2 RX?

There should be a separate plug labeled BATT. That is where your BEC plugs in. It shouldn't affect any of your channels.

Purchase a "Y" harrness. Plug the BEC (powered off the battery) into one side, the servo in the other side and JUST the signal-wire into the receiver.

Yes it is. The RX has a receptical labeled power/4th channel. It does have a receptical labeled BATT. The manual says the BATT is where you plug in the battery sensor.

Can I just plug the BEC in to the BATT recep.

Ah, than it is different than the one I had experience with. That one had the four channels in a row, then a BATT plug off to the side.

Sorry I can't help.

Use a Y-harness to the 4-ch position, this is the Nomadio stated method.
Do not plug a battery into the batt sensor spot.

Would I remove the red wire from my ECS to the RX?

Then plug in the servo and BEC into the Y harness and into the 4-ch position?

Or plug my BEC and ECS into the Y harness and into the throttle position?
