It should be wired exactly like the diagram that Castle provided in the package:

Make sure you pull (not cut) the red wire from your ESC's connector...

Nothing, it just means you have to run the BEC and if you upgrade your ESC you would need to rewire the plug to sell it I guess.

If you run a CC ESC you need to reinsert the red wire to use the CastleLink for programming. Unplugging the red wire is easy to do so I wouldn't cut it.

The red wire just snaps into the connector, you just need to use an exacto knife to lift the latch holding it in. I fold the wire back on itself and use some heat shrink to keep it in place and to prevent it from shorting out on anything, it still has voltage on the wire from the ESC's BEC.

You'll also need to get the CC BEC reprogrammed to the voltage you want to run. If you're LHS is worth a damn they'll do it for free.

Plug the BEC into any channel on the receiver.
