"I am powering it through the 3DR Power Module, one side is coming from my PDB and the other the 4s LiPo battery.  I spoke with 3DR and they mentioned there should be no need for ANY red wires coming from any of the ESCs as that is an Output rail on…"

"That's a great image thanks for the share.  Any idea if going the other way will hurt anything? I'm trying help not having to make all new connections on every battery and ESC I own.  I could always just make a short adapter for both ends but just…"
