Not sure what to do

Thanks Guys

Big motors and high voltage usually run separate receiver packs.

Disconnect the red wire from the ESC to the RX. Then use a 5-cell NiMH pack with its own switch between the pack and RX.

I use this set up on every boat except my SV27 powered boats. There I use the built in BEC on the ESC.

will i need any special connectors or charging leads?

Just a lead to plug the Rx battery in. My charger had on in the package deal.
