The esc's will not spin the motors if the polarity is set wrong. | + | Don't forget to set the output signal polarity in the firmware, each method requires a different output signal polarity, because the signal is inverted when it passes through the FET.

The flight controller has an onboard regulator, but it is limited to how much input voltage it can take without getting too hot. 5V is safe for these boards, and many of the regulators have a max input voltage of 6V. |
1. Use a voltage regulator (buck converter) from ebay or Banggood, I often use one with a variable output voltage set by a mini trimpot and set the output to 4V. It weighs around 1.6gm and works well. I am using this on several quads with no issues. To find one do a search for mini power module or mini step down or buck converter or use similar search terms. The disadvantage with this method is that you need to run a timer or low voltage buzzer so you don't completely flatten and damage your battery. Here is a pic: | 1.
