My brother currently runs a 1s lipo on a mamba pro 1 cell ESC with a 2s life receiver pack.

He wants to simplify and only charge one battery. Problem is the ESC has no BEC in it.

Looking at this BEC

Is it as simple as just tapping the leads from the lipo, switching to 6v and connecting it to the receiver ?

From what I've read, since the ESC has no BEC there is no need to cut the red wire, correct ?

Finally, does the balance plug coming out of the lipo have enough AWG to tap power from to power the receiver ? It will be running a Savox 1256 servo and transponder. The rx is a Futaba 301 I believe, the one that comes with a 4pls.

Thanks.
