Hi Gents,I am writing this to get your feedback. Like many of you I am using OPTO Esc's in my build. I am powering the Pixhawk from the 3dr power module and in the past I powered the servo rail by a bec attached to my PDB. With this new build I am trying to keep it as light as possible. I have found that my x8r receiver in ppm mode still puts out 5v on the other channels. Therefore, I am able to power my esc's directly from the receiver. It works great but is this just a terrible idea? I have also used this method on my mini quads without incident.
