What you do is this.

The Deans plus is intended to go between the battery and the ESC. The ESC should have something called BEC (Battery Elimination Circuity) which allows your flight battery to power your receiver through the ESC. If it has the BEC, then the ESC connects to the receiver and that is it. If the ESC doesn't have BEC, then you will need a separate receiver pack.

Your main flight battery (In 90% of cases) will not plug straight into your receiver.


When you have the Dean plug soldered to the battery, you can easily swap it out for another battery with a deans plug. Deans plugs are very popular because they can take a lot of current and are designed so you cannot plug the battery in backwards. Just make sure your ESC has the MALE end of a deans connector and your flight batteries have the FEMALE end.

In the end no part of your setup should be directly soldered to another. The motor should plug into the ESC, the ESC should plug into the battery, and the ESC should plug into the receiver. This makes it easy to change out parts if something fails.
