It's an accessory plug. It could power a light kit for example.

The original version of that esc came with a fan mounted uptop, it plugged in there. I know you could plug a second fan in and start glitching or blackout. No amperage and 5.4v

That plug is NOT 5.4v unless you are running a 5.4v battery. It is in fact a tap off the battery leads meaning it is the actual battery voltage. Test it with a voltmeter if you don't believe me!

Just follow the wires. They’re soldered right to the battery wires at the esc. Don’t even need a multimeter for that. Just eye balls.

This is how misinformation gets started on the internet and number of posts has nothing to do with anything. However, actually knowing what you're talking about does. Unlike some, I don't post information that I don't know to be true. That plug is also described in the TRX4 owners manual. Have you read yours?

Hahaha not fully I skimmed. I figured you didn't post info that you don't know too be true but being the internet everything is under scrutiny. I believe you now if that's any consolation...
