Learn to Fly 3d RC Helicopters

The Blade 360 CFX captures all of the capabilities of a much larger unlimited 3D heli in its mini sized airframe. Features that contribute to its extreme performance envelope include a high voltage 6S LiPo battery powered brushless power system and optimized servo geometry that minimizes mechanical inefficiencies. A Castle Creations Talon 35 speed controller comes with pre-programmed motor timing and governor settings. High speed metal gear servos and the famed BeastX flybarless controller, packaged internally in the Spektrum AR7200BX DSMX...
Has anyone used a separate RX battery as a backup for the BEC on a YGE speed controller?

The manual says, if your using the 5.7 volt BEC setting, to just use a NiMH 4 cell battery directly into the receiver port.

I would imagine the main reason for using this is incase your main battery dies or the esc over heats etc.

Is a backup battery effective? or is someone better of snipping the red wire and using a separate RX pack and voltage regulator?

Seems like I'm the only one who post here :) hope it's ok :)

The Tactic brand is already known for its focus on affordability and value, but even veteran modelers are surprised by the wide selection it offers, as well. Tactic offers a full line of interference-free 2.4GHz radios, which starts with the modern TTX300 3-channel surface system and goes on to include the TTX410 and TTX610 flight radios, as well as the TTX650 and TTX850 computer radios. All systems offer the security and linking ease of the SLT protocol, which makes them ideal for use with Tx-R aircraft from Flyzone, Great Planes, Heli-Max and more. However, Tx-R aircraft can also be...
