brushless 1/5 4wd conversion about to begin! couple questions.

It doesn't have a switch...it just turns on with the RX gets it's power. What are you doing to RX power?

I did a little work yesterday also. I'm going to run a 3S LiPo into a 3 way parallel split: BEC, fans, and lights.

I've also been tinkering around with a computer power supply. They can easily be converted to provide 3 / 5 / 12 volts to power a battery charger. You can even series 2 different ones together for any combination of the above.
