3.1 Povezava sprejemnika

The VX1 remote comes with a receiver. Ensure correct connection to your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) to prevent damage.

• Carefully check the receiver connection diagram corresponding to your specific FSESC (VESC4, VESC6, or Non-VESC). Incorrect wiring can damage the receiver.
• The variants (for VESC4/for VESC6/For Non VESC) only differ in receiver cables; the remote itself is the same.
• When using UART mode connection for the VX1 remote receiver, perform the connection po programming in VESC tool. This prevents interference with the programming process. In UART mode, no further remote adjustments are needed.
