I found that the RX was losing power from the ESC, so how can I use a 5 cell Nihm at the same time as the connection to the ESC? The ESC powers the RX and servos through the throttle connection. Will pluggin in a pack in the batt terminal do any harm?

Remove the hot wire from the line from the ESC to the throttle channel (usually red)

There is an inline switch, I think before I start cutting lines is connect a pack to power the RX and see if I get throttle response, if so, then that should do the trick.

Plugging a battery, and a hot ESC to the reciever usually ends up in smoke. You can use a pin and remove the line from the connector, notice I didn't say "cut" as that would make it potentially useless in your next installation

Most slide switches interupt the ground line so its possible the signal line won't operate correctly, just remove the red wire and leave the switch on.
