- The Esc with power to its board at 6v coming from the BEC through the Smart Boost is operational and routes the 3.7v battery power to the motor through its FETs. Question: Do the FETs have a minimum voltage? Are the FETs still functional with only 3.7v?
Every esc I've ever used works with reciever pack or booster. There is no way for the esc to "block" voltage from the booster if it is connected as instructed. There is no mimimum voltage for the fets and all esc's will work on a 3.7v battery, at least on all the ones I have used, and that would be most of the available brands
