opjose,

I was thinking he had a Esc w/bec and was wondering
about the 3 motor wires. Does your pass through connector
work like a arming pin ?

Bob
No, but that's not a bad idea... I could solder in a third connection and bring that out to turn it into an arming device.

Basically I put a male and female deans back to back and solder them together this way.

I then solder the BEC's wires in between so to speak, apply a bit of silicon sealant ( to help prevent shorting ) and then put heat shrink over everything.

The BEC's deans plugs can sit between the battery and the motor connector on an EP plane.

But I can also elect to plug the BEC directly to the battery and use the same setup for glow/gas planes.

A bit more work up front, but much easier to deal with later...
