I would consider using one of my RX packs, but they're both directly connected to a PowerBox SRS. I would either have to peel off one prior to the PB or use a spare servo port off of the PB just for power. If I use one of these ports I would have to step down the wire gauge as they are jr connectors rather than mpx. I would prefer to use the larger gauge wire to power the gear.
