Hi Larry,
If you look on the FC board, each motor output positive pin has a small solder jumper that is not completed. If you complete that jumper you can power the ESC's from the FC board instead of your BEC.
The board makes some power adjustments for change in battery voltage, if you feed the FC board a regulated voltage it will not be able to correctly do that. I think you will need to make some code changes if it's not fed a normal Lipo battery. You could drop the voltage to the FC through 6 silicon diodes and then change the battery detection to follow the A123 battery profile applying a offset for the voltage dropped across the diodes. The AQ takes considerable effort to get running and your adding variables that no one has had experience with.
Good Luck
Steve
