There is a free tutorial on the Castle Creations web site that shows everyone how to short-cut the 1 cell esc,
But if it's not a CC product, then I cannot say anything further.
Some ppl bridge their lipos with a lipo cut-off fail safe switch, between the battery pack and the esc.
Other options bridge is a self-made electronic BUSS system between the RX and the battery itself.
Either way, you should be good.
Make sure, just to be on the safe side (research it!) that you get a 10 amp brake, just to certainly protect your electrics.
Hope that helps!
