Receiver PacksTroubleshooting Using A Receiver PackThere is one time when a receiver pack can be especially useful in the electric scene. That's when it comes to troubleshooting. Using a receiver pack to power the receiver to see if the servos will operate can often tell you if a problem lies in the ESC or the receiver. If you power the receiver with a receiver pack, and you can operate the servos, you can rule out any problems with the receiver itself. There is one important thing to remember about a receiver pack. Most of them will come with a small two lead plug and it must be plugged in correctly. Servos come with three lead plugs because they also have a signal wire, but a receiver pack only carries current to power the pack. So you'll need to make sure you plug it in correctly. If you do this wrong you receiver damage will probably be the result. Usually you can use the one of the servo plugs as a reference to how to plug the receiver pack into the receiver so that you get the polarity correct. The direction of the plug though, will vary from receiver to receiver. However one thing is usually constant, where the receiver pack plugs in should nearly always be marked as "Batt". Below are a couple of pictures that show a receiver pack plugged into a receiver as an example.
