Receiver battery

[mattsdragons]

and that does not have to be connected to anything? it can just be loose?

i wired it all up in parallel and connected the esc's to the reciever and there was just no power going to the esc's or anything

Solder the orange and red wires together ...join them.

This switches ON the BEC

Loose ...not joined ...the BEC is OFF

If you attached a switch to the 2 wires you could turn the BEC on/off

they are joined but only by a twist connecting for now till i have got it all right and working
