The speed controller will happily supply the BEC voltage to the receiver,  BUT should the motor ever become overloaded then it might draw more than 10 amps.

Just a thought

A fuse will ensure that your esc is protected. A stalled motor can draw a lot more than its rated current. The fuse should be on the input to the esc.And be rated at no more than the esc rating. John.

In the positive wire from the battery to the esc.Most car shops sell spade type fuse holders or theres Maplins
etc. John.

Treeboa can you explain what radio and esc probs youve had? They may be linked to the r/c gear. John.
