P1260053
Close-up of the receiver. The main chip is the Nordic RF chip that also contains a microcontroller. The chip near the bind button is an EEPROM that holds bind information persistently.
On the right of the two ICs are two voltage regulators. The upper one is a 3.3V regulator that drives most of the logic, the lower one generates 2.5V needed for the Nordic chip.
Just below the servo connectors are four tiny protection resistors. We will de-solder the left most one to free up the signal pin on the battery connector. Stock this pin contains some form of test signal that is unfortunately not PPM but a sum of the three servo pulses.
Side note: The receiver consumes about 25mA at 5V. If the 3.3V regulator is able to accept 10V input voltage then one could power up this receiver directly from a speed controller that does not have a BEC, like most older Tamiya ones.
Alternatively one could replace the voltage regulator to ensure it can handle at least 10V.
