| Guys, i need a little help..
Ok guys, please don't shoot me, i did search a little for my questions, but i am still uncertain, so i need a couple of wiring diagrams for my becs; 1- first one is a clod super with a castle creations bec, 2 tp 945mg, 2 mamba 25, 1 mini servo for the dig all wire up to a 4 ch fm radio with front and rear esc mixed with a y harness. 2- Second one basically same as the first set up only it's a cool bec instead os the castle one. 3- Another cool bec with tp 945mg for a tlt with a xl-5 esc. 4- Cool bec with a tp 945mg for an ax 10 with a moped. I just want to know which way is better for wiring a particular bec with a specific esc and receiver. I have an mpi reg in one of my clods and i had to cut wires from the bec to the servos to isolate the power, and i also have seen some becs that just plug in the receiver and jut have to keep the esc switch off, so i am really confused and i don't want to smoke any of my electronics, btw i also have a clod project with the same servos and a couple of goat sytems, how would i wire a cool bec if i should need it?? Sorry for all the questions but i wanted to be as thorough as possible, thanks in advance |

Why do you need a micro servo for your dig?? I just ask because it will work much better with each esc on a seperate channel.

You can't use a servo to get dig with an outrunner unless it is a stick in the spokes method, in which case something will end up breaking. What RX are you using? You might be able to route power through the RX. |

Sorry if i wasn't as through with my questions, dig is by a switch that interrupts the rear motor.

You will fry an ESC or motor doing that to a brushless. The dig will need to interrupt the signal wire on the mamba 25. You can't assign a switch to turn on and off your mix for the second throttle?

That is what the switch is doing, one side to the motor and the other one to the esc, sorry if i keep confusing you. What i need is a diagram to hook up the becs. | |

That is honestly a horrible idea. The ESC is still trying to feed and synch the motor at full voltage and current, and the ESC will heat up FAST since it can't. On top of that the switch and extra wires are adding a lot of resistance to just one phase. Have you used it yet?

If it isn't broken it is still good, but I certainly don't recommend continuing to run it as such. Run the yellow signal wire through the switch and just cut off the signal to the ESC so it will stop turning.

Do you have a spare slot on the RX? The cool BEC can be run inline, just plug the ESC RX lead into the female cool BEC lead and plug the male cool BEC lead into the ESC's proper channel.
