Hello,

I want to use a Hobbywing 120A V4 ESC with a Spirit Pro and a Graupner GR-16 Rx.
The receiver will be connected with SUMD signal cable to the Spirit Pro (RUD).
The HW ESC has two BEC power supply cables.

1. Question:
Can I go with the main ESC signal cable into Spirit Pro (AUX1) and with the slave power supply cable
from the ESC into the Rx, or can this wiring cause electrical failure?

2. Question:
Together with the ESC was supplied a capacitor.
Plug it into the Spirit or the Rx?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

1. Prefered way is to plug both cables to the unit.
Or both cables to the receiver. Then two cables should be wired between RX and Spirit unit. But the first option is usually better since all load is plugged in the FBL unit.

2. You can plug it at the CH0 port if it is free. It can help with brownouts during hard maneuvers.
