OK...now you've confused me
! When I ran 12th scale before with my Tekin I ran a 200mah LiFe pack that plugged directly into the battery plug on the receiver. All I have available to me right now are small 240mah 2s lipos and I was thinking perhaps I could simply plug that into my KO receiver without overloading the receiver and servo with 7.4V?
Cheers,
Mike

If you look through the Tekin RS thread you will find a diagram where is shows how to splice your lipo battery into the switch leads. This is a path internal to the speed control past the power section and only applies your extra battery to the BEC circuit. By using a 2s lipo you will end up seeing 3s equivalent at the BEC since it and the main battery are inline but it works fine. I had some 240mah single cell lipos that I wired inline and have had great results. A ten minute run uses around 38mah from the rx battery.
