I ask myself, is it secure to wire red cable coming from batteries to BAT from receiver, it makes 44V to receiver, will it not burn ? I know that its the 5V from UBEC that supply the receiver… And the same for motor, it doesn’t make problem to wire a black cable from ESC for the motor to the receiver ?
Which size of cable do you use 18AWG is good ?
Is it as simple as this ? :sweat_smile:

Have a good ride

You are correct, the BATT input takes the full battery voltage. It will not fry if you connect 44vdc to it. 18awg is plenty, I have been using 22 awg for a few years on this connection. The negative gets connected as you showed in your diagram.
