Made up a little diagram showing the UBEC hookup. It's a little different than most setups since the output of the UBEC must be fed back into the ESC, but that's about it. Oh, and I used the ESC input power solder points for the UBEC input.



Other mods done just for the record:

- Cut the case so the heatsink has better passive airflow

- To protect the circuits, I installed 1/8" thick foam pad strip along the motor and power wire solder points inside the case.

OK thank you TruckBasher, you reply to my question, so the brown wire (or black, it's the same thing) on the Rx lead is simply remove, not use anymore??

So you give me the warrentie that i can do this on the V2 as well as the V1??

And another thing, should i mod it as soon as i'll recieve it or should i,am better to run it and wait it died???

And no worries for the warenties, if it died after the mod, i'll simply wait until CC solve their problems bofore to order another one, or maybe change the 3 caps on my MM for 35V rated caps and try it on 6s.............................

Thank you to BrianG, TruckBasher and JoeLing for your PM and your help, so if you have great results with your mod V2, i'll be more confident to run mine .

But i need to know if i'am better to mod it as soon as i'll recieve it or wait until it died. But if i wait, i risk to have a fire on the ESC, so the mod will be impossible.

And after your mod it, should i run a fan on it power by the Rx or you can run it without fan??

OK i'll did exactly what BrianG did on his drawing, solder the red/black input BEC directly to the main connector on the ESC.
