Please see earlier posts by me in last couple of days; http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Need...1504160/tm.htm and http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Stil...1506791/tm.htm

Basically, I'm having trouble with my ESC, receiver, battery setup.

I do not get any power to the receiver, servos or motor when my 9.6v 8cell is plugged into ch3 on my HFS-04MG receiver. What I have to do is plug an additional battery into ch4/b to get any power, by doing this, the servos are powered by the second 4cell 500mAh battery, and the 300C motor is strictly powered by the 8cell 9.6v pack.

However, I and a couple of local hobby shop personnel think the extra weight of the 4cell pack is making it too heavy, because it doesn't want to lift. I am using GWS mini servos, the 300C motor and no extra stuff to weigh it down.

One local hobby shop person looked at it and thinks that my receiver, HFS-04MG by Hitec is not BEC compliant. My Great Planes C-5 ESC is listed as being BEC compliant. I can not find any information to this receiver as being a BEC receiver.

He thinks that if I get a BEC compliant receiver, that I will be able to power the receiver, servos and motor from one pack through ch3, as I am supposed to.

The Slow Stick instruction manual lists a GWR-4N as a recommended receiver, but the information I found on Hitec site also doesn't say anything about being BEC compatible. I also cannot find anywhere this receiver is listed to purchase.

Does anyone agree that this is my problem; not having a BEC compliant receiver by not being able to get power to the servos / motor through ch3? As I say, if I connect a second battery to the receiver battery slot, I get power, and with the ESC to ch3, all servos work and the motor is controllable, but it seems on the heavy side.

I bought this Hitec Neon SS Tx with the HFS-04MG receiver online from Ebay, but was unaware I would possibly need a BEC receiver.

Can anyone steer me toward a BEC 4ch receiver of good quality and reasonable price, so that I can at least get this SS off the ground?

It needs to be compatible with my Hitec Tx on FM, 72Mhz.

Any other ideas or suggestions, please assist. I would like to take up this new hobby, but am getting frustrated. It would have been easier to build a glow plane, as I wouldn't have had these issues, but I wanted to have a cheaper hobby (no cost of glow fuel, and no need to drive long distance to a flying field).

Thanks in advance.
