Hi Norbert,

It's not your fault for not asking earlier ;)

I've learned something new too – I had always assumed 'opto' ESCs (which are generally ESCs rated for high cell-count operation) were not able to power the FET-driving electronics from the flight battery (as it was too large a voltage drop to cater with onboard) and therefore any 'opto' ESCs needed to be fed with 5V. It would seem I've been mistaken ;)

The new Hobbywing ESCs are the same (they function without the red wire connected), so I will just snip the red wires before they go into the servo connectors.

Thanks for your help :) David
