Pre wired up etc?

Going to be using it with

http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM1210

Which already has servo, ESC and PT plugged in, I'll need a Y lead right?

I know it's fine with this one as you have the aux port. http://www.spektrumrc.com/DSM/Products/surfaceReceivers.aspx

plug it into your battery slot, and nope you must wire these up your self, but thats a easy job.

I think mine is in the bind port, the positive and negative pins are all connected on every recevier I've ever looked at so it makes no difference which port it goes in. Either the cap or my PT is in the slot anyway as I have none free on my micro receiver.

Cool. That's what I did in the end last night. Put the power cap in the bind port and it all seems ok.

Just need another one for my 2WD for Petit. Not planning on having any electrical issues!
