That's what I told you to do when you first flew the big decathlon! You have to be a bit careful with some ESC's though, they don't like the input capacitors being charged up really slowly, it can confuse the ESC logic.

The other thing to be careful of, is the automatic cell detection for the low voltage cutoff on ESCs, make sure it detects the correct number of cells if you use something like this...
