    looks good, no need for the power on switch as Link acts fine as that, LED need to be in the power circuit and not off another device e.g. receiver and you need a Fuse. http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/docu...uild-Rules.pdf

    Looking at the diagram, it is basically sound except for a few things:


    • As you are using LiPos, you need to have a fuse after the link rated below the burst discharge of the batteries.
    • I see you've stated the LED requirement on the receiver, is that going to be a separate LED or the one that comes with the receiver?


    Planning any weaponry at all for this one?

    No idea how i didn't blow up my receiver when i had 3 ESC plugged in when i didn't know that the two old FR15HX did have a BEC.
