MODE SELECTION SWITCH POSITIONS

ACTion do not recommend the use of speed controllers fitted with Battery Elimination Circuitry. If you do use these then you MUST either disable
the BEC in all but one of them or, preferably, disable it in all and use a separate 4-cell rechargeable pack for the receiver, as shown. BEC is disabled
by removing the RED (Positive) wire from the ESC plug which fits into the receiver. If there is a slide switch fitted to the ESC then leave it ON or the
ESC itself might not work.
