Thanks Andrew ,regarding the TX thats why i bought a new battery pack ,either modding the regulator or fitting a jack socket for an external power source would invalidate the warranty

, maybe in the future , lets see how i go on with this method .
The reason for the higher voltage battery pack is in my brakengarth i have a square 4.8v pack and an ACtion bec fitted to compensate for the demand for receiver,servos sound unit etc and my concern was if the TX likes the power then maybe the Rx does too , and its about time i bought a new Rx battery

.
The other thing is i have a couple of esc's that have a output for the receiver ,black and white lead with a red plug on the end , now i found out to my cost that the supply voltage for the esc is up to 12v but the esc does not have a BEC

, so 12v in 12v out fizzle fizzle ,blue smoke :'( one 6ch micro Rx dead
