I reckon that the little one is a reciever battery and the big one is for the weapon and drive.

wouldn't it be easier and less weight just to have 1, 7.4v lipo power going to the esc and the esc providing power to the receiver and drive?

I don't know really but I'm going for the easy way with 2 batteries, the one for the reciever is small and very light but I have seen these LiPo's that are 7.4v and only weigh 30g.

You do not need 2 batteries for an antweight. If its servo driven, you plug a battery into the receiver and it will power both receiver and servos. If you go on roaming robots shop, they sell a good 6v ant sized battery.

[jonny]

your receiver may reguate the 6v voltage to 4.8v (mine does) and my esc required 5 volts +. if you plug battery in through the esc it should give receiver and servos power via the signal cable that you plug into receiver.

The big battery I have is 7.2v and that is just enough to power the esc. I'll try it out today and see what happens
