Title: reciver wiring
Post by: TravelingPencil on April 29, 2007, 05:18:40 PM
does anyone know how to wire a reciver so that you don't have to use up one channel for a battery? ???

there should be an extra hole for the battery, so if it was a three channel reciever there would be four slots. sometimes there are labled channel 1, channel 2, etc, and the top one will say BATT

hook the battery wires and reciever plug ghetto wise. or make the cable and battery wires share a header plug

if for some odd reason it doesnt have a battery plug port, just use a Y harness.

this cable has three ends, one for your reciever, one for your battery, and one for your servo. make sure the power line goes all three ways . . .
