Personally I just plug my LiFe RX pack into the receiver and don't turn on the ESC. You actually use less of the RX pack this way. I normally recharge the pack with 50 to 60 mah for an eight minute heat and several warm up laps. It's much easier and you don't need to change any connectors or wires.

If I plug the LiFe rx pack straight into the receiver and don't turn on the esc, both the red and black wire from the esc will still be connected to the 1S lipo right?

I read that on certain setup, the red wire is not plug to the 1S lipo. So I just want to ask regarding this setup.

Thanks.
