Testing OPTO ESC

How is the best way to hook up an Opto Esc to check for motor direction before assembly. Since there is no BEC do I power the receiver with a battery pack or does it need to have a common voltage with the ESC which would mean maybe using an external BEC to power things.

Not sure why you would ever power the Rx with a pack....Rx's are usually 5-6v so a 1 cell would be too low and 2 cell too high. Just connect a BEC to any channel on the Rx and the ESC to the throttle channel.
