VX1 and Talon ESC governor question.

[SGD]

Just started to go through the set up of a VX1 in conjunction with a Talon 90 ESC and using s-bus connection. After reading this in the VX1 manual:

"Governor type: When “Inhibit” is selected the governor function is disabled and the transmitter throttle signal is passed direct to SV5 servo output."

My question is would it be ok plug the ESC straight into the throttle channel on the Rx rather than the SV5 output on the VX1? I've checked both outputs using a servo and they appear to be the same.

Should be fine, why do you want to do this, is the cable on the ESC too short?

You could always use a 'Y' lead on the RX so that you can send the throttle signal to the VX1 too. But then you may as well extend the wire on the ESC I suppose.

It was more out of interest than anything else but if I can safely use the Rx output for the throttle then it would simplify the installation a little.

Yes you can, using the same setup on my protos and it works perfectly.
