    Pull the red wire from the BEC clip.Dont cut the wire.Buy an external BEC and use it.The esc BEC plugs into the external and the external plugs into the reciever.I wouldnt worry about the caps.Or if you are,you can buy caps from the cap king website and solder 3 more to it.

    Or easier yet. Pull the red wire like Larry said and just use an rx pack!

    I dont know what BEC your running but the ones that I have you dont plug the esc into the bec. You pull the red wire from the esc plug ads that goes to your throttle channel. The power leads go to your power source (main pack or external pack) and that plugs into your batt slot on you rx.
    If all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!
