3GX question ?

anyone using the 2 x Spektrum sats option on this ? any issues ?

can i plug 2 separate power cables into this unit ? e.g., the 2 power cables from a CC 20A BEC Pro ?

cheers guys

I think you could put power in through the S-Bus socket, bottom right, and batt bottom left.

i know you can put one power cable into it....bottom left horizontal, but not using a separate receiver creates free ports, can the 3GX be powered through those also ?

3GX question ?

Remove both positive and negative wires from the ESC lead and put the BEC wires in there as well?

great, thanks for that Stuart.

i would still like to know if you can put 2 power leads from a BEC into this unit and how....Y cable paired with a servo input, separate free port (other than bat port) ?

Hi Steve

So you have a BEC with an ESC with No BEC and you want to run 2 power leads from the one BEC to the 3gx.
What are you trying to achieve?

You don't have any free ports in the unit as the 2 at the end are signal output for if you run a separate receiver the one next to the bat port is output power port for the receiver. I can see on reason there would be any harm to the unit as -ve and +ve for ll the pins run off the same circuit.

Hey Buddy.

As AndyThilo has said already, you can put power in via the two bottom horizontal ports on the 3GX. Even though one is BATT Out and the other Sbus/Bind the power pins are all on the same bus as the rest of the servo connections pins.
Or you can run a Y lead onto any other channel port if required.

The only two points you cannot put power into the 3GX are via the 2 signal only ports at the far right of the unit, as these are single inputs only from a separate Rx.
