Wiring Help! Not sure how to proceed...

[JThiessen]

I did a search, and I think I found a few answers, but since they were a while back, I thought I'd make another post to get this info back up to the top. Please forgive my ignorance here, I'm fairly new to this.

I have: Ultimate BEC, Fiego 10L, MGM 12012 to be wired into my Revo. All of my batteries (so far) are 6 cell NiCD. Currently the ESC is wired with Anderson PP for one battery. I also have a fan to wire in.

From what i gather so far I need to (or should?) also add a seperate battery pack for my reciever? If so, would the stock revo rechargeable be a good one to use? Do I connect the power wires from it directly to the input of the BEC?

I assume that power to the reciever comes from the ESC wiring, correct?

Do I have to break open the case of the ON/OFF switch on the ESC to wire it in line between the BEC and the ESC?

Reading the instructions for the 12012, it appears that it is rated for 6-12 cells. Is that 12 wired in series or parallel? (instr. werent really clear on that)

One last item: I read that I need to disconnect a wire in the ESC if I run an external BEC??? What is this and how do I get to it?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
