Default RC10B4.1 esc question

i recently got the rc10b4.1 RTR, and i want to add some lights to it for night driving, my question is, on the XP SC450-BL esc there is a jst plug just hanging out there, what is the purpose of this plug? is it a power source? and if so is it safe to run leds or string light from it? i looked online and cant find a peep of information about it, not even in the manual for the esc, yet the plug is there. thanks guys

Default RE: RC10B4.1 esc question

while i have yet to discover its actual purpose, i used my multimeter and got a 6v reading, so i added some string light to the buggy and a led on the front. works perfectly. still no information online about the jst plug and its not even mentioned in the manual for it, seems kind of odd

It is for plugging in a fan. But you can use it for anything requiring six volts at low amp draw.
