hi Mike, how is it going? are you racing pancars at WCRC these days?
regarding wiring, do exactly what CarbonJoe said just above. i did just the same thing with an aileron extension and a spare switch.
the general idea is to take 3.7v battery power from the +/- post's of the ESC, into the booster female end, which sends 6v out the booster male end into the receiver.
it may seem strange to pass power from one end to another of the ESC, the ESC with switch off just means that the internal BEC is unpowered, when you put the boosted voltage into the ESC's reciever plug the ESC becomes operational. (with only one slight limitation) with tekin's current software you have the option of turning the esc on, but that is only to use the voltage cutoff.
