Is this a revision? Should these pads be populated?
Regarding the electronics being fed from one of the ESC's BEC -
I'm on the way of making things very reliable.
I thought of feeding the tronics with regulated 5v, coming from a stand alone circuitry, 5v regulator off the battery.

Audio feedback of changing total energy (potential plus kinetic) would be better.
