Radio Control- For Dummies(TM)

[TommyDodd]

I've got 2 r/c conversions pending on my workbench, my own Accucraft Lyn and the "Millie" of a lad in the village I help out as a "consulting engineer" from time to time. However, this is a side of the job I've never tackled before, and looking at the mishmash of components supplied one thing puzzles me- where does the juice go in? Looking at the receivers I see sockets where you plug the servos in, and the servos have the required wire and plug, but I don't see any single socket marked just + & -, or any immediately obvious way to join battery holder, via on/off switch, to the gubbins it powers. Yes, I've had my r/c Lady Anne for 16 yrs, but that setup has been so reliable I've never had to touch it in all that time. I could probably take it to bits and reverse engineer the setup if I absolutely had to, but I'm a firm believer in "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and besides would be a little chary of being able to get it all back together in full working order again.

I think the battery pack usually plugs into the bottom port of the receiver if you are looking at it with the port slots to the right. It should have the same connector as the servos do.
