    Welcome to this forum.
    Take a look here and see if this helps:

          Duh! (smacking forehead), that is something i should have mentioned! The DVDs are worth getting. There are tips in there that alone are worth purchasing the DVD alone. If you read my Gato build I think I mention it enough times, buy the DVDs.

            I have the dvd's. The fitting kit for the retract is not the same as in the dvd's.

              If you follow my Gato build with the DVDs, it should cover the areas you are unsure about.

                        Yes, it taps off of your main battery power. Then the regulated voltage is used for the other devices (like RX)

                        If your ESC has a BEC built in you will need to disconnect the red wire. (see post)
