Ok, so I got the electric telemetry pack for Christmas and I want to install it on my Mini-T. I'm reading that in order to use the voltage monitor I need to solder the sensor connections to their respective poles at the battery. The issue is that in doing this I would need to unplug that sensor from the module everytime I took the battery out of the car.. furthermore I would need to have a dedicated sensor lead for every battery pack (I only have 1 right now but I'm looking at the big picture :) ) So I was thinking about soldering the sensor leads to their respective poles on the ESC side of my deans connector, that way I would have a permanent mount and I would only need 1 lead on the car. Would this work? Would it affect the reading?
 
That is the way I have my BEC wired, right of the power leads of the ESC off the deans plug. It will not have an effect on the voltage readings.
 
Sweet, thanks SD :thumbup:

PS: Anyone know which one of the voltage leads goes to the Rx and which goes to the module. The book doesn't really say but I suspect the 3 wire lead goes to the module. :shrug:
