RX Bypass Adapter made from Y Adapter

[raider89]

I have a BEC and was going to use the Y adapter to install it thinking it was the same thing, turns out it wasn't.

So what I did on the Y adapter was cut the 2 red wires and join them, remove the red wire going to the RX end.

Removed the white signal wire from one input end.

The servo went to the input end with the red/black/white wire.
The BEC went to the input end with red/black
The output went into the RX Steering Slot which was only signal and black.

Pic below, does this work?

looks like its done right but its a pretty wimpy gauge y-adaptor, you could make that a little better by trimming off alot of the extra length wire.

i just posted about this exact thing a few days ago. look that up to be sure.

I'm not expert by any means, but I thought all you'd have to do was remove the red wire from the side you plug into your receiver.

I'm not sure if the signal wire from a bec does anything, its just there, the connection it make probably helps hold onto the female end you plugged it into....maybe.

Looks like it will work, should be able to plug it in and find out. I just made the same thing but I pulled the red wire on the end that goes into the rx. Works like it's supposed to and it all fits into the box for the rx.

yeah I didnt want to pull the red wire on the rx so i got the bypass idea. Wasn't sure if the rx bypass adapter was something fancy.

I think the only reason you pull the red wire is so that your not sending power to you receiver from 2 locations (bec, and ESC). Nope nothing fancy just has all three wires still.

It's not too fancy, you've got the concept. That's how I used to make them if I didn't have parts to solder one up. Now I just have short ones with fat wires made in bulk to my specs and pick from inventory for my builds
