Also, the ESC will provide the voltage you have it set for to all other electronics and will source the current required (up to 5amps for the RSX).

So the BEC has 2 settings. Open the manual and read how to set it.

so that means then the motor won't be getting 7.4v either, correct? also what about the rx does that have anything to do with the equation?
