Default powering my winch

im building my scaler and its goin to run on 3s with a bec ,and my question is can i set my winch(3racing) uo so it gets power from my rx by splicing the power wires in to the rx plug or do i need to just run another battery for my winch like ive been doin on my other rigs,just tryin to avoid the 2 battery setup ,and no im not ditchin the 3s thats what i run in evertything

It is fine to run the power wire into the receiver. I have ran mine like this for some time, but I now have a separate BEC set to 7.2V just for my winch.

so rather then running that little "Y" conection for the batter that it comes with you have a BEC powered straight to the winch ?

does this remove the need for the 3 racing controll madual thing?

The "Y" is for running with a 2S or 7.2v battery. He's running a 3S so he uses the BEC to controll the voltage the winch needs by being set at 7.2v etc.
