Rx packs are legal and i think most people use them, mainly to have proper consistent voltage to your electronics.

Hi Paul,

Hoping you can help me out a bit with this, I am totally new to 12th but looking to run one soon, with a 17.5 TP motor and lrp sxx tc v1. From the above, do I need to remove any esc wires to the rx or do I plug everything in just as I would a 2s car, but then also run an rx pack, and with the esc switched off? Will this work?

Also, will I be ok with a standard TP 17.5 motor for 1S racing, or does it really need option bits to run?

Thanks,

Dave
