Wiring Help! Not sure how to proceed...

If I remember you run the power pole. They can be done in series real easy. Hook battery one pos wire to esc. Hook the ground wire of pack two to the ground of esc. Plug the remaing hot and ground wire to one another for completion of circuit.

Unfortunatley, only the esc has power poles. I just recently got done converting all of my other stuff to deans! I was thinking about buying some more batteries anyway, so maybe I should just do that. Do any of the vendors sell packs made to be run in series? This is what is generally referred to as a saddle pack, correct?

On edit: Wow, got lots of info searching for "wiring in series" - should've searched for that from the start!

Still havent found good info on where the best place to wire in the fan is......

Another question: I was looking for reciever covers and/or options for recievers, and I ran across this: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJM12&P=7

Its a reciever with BEC....could I have just utilized one of these recievers instead of wiring in a U-BEC?

[BrianG]

That might work although I would still opt to use a UBEC. The one in the Rx is probably just a linear regulator and will heat up substantially, especially when using high cell counts and/or heavy duty servo(s). Besides, it does not say what the current rating of the BEC is or the max allowed cell count. A UBEC uses a PWM regulator so it is much more efficient and heats up a LOT less.
