An easy way to prevent the 5 volts from getting into trouble...Using a fine point wire cutter, cut the red wire next to the connector that will be plugged into the RC. If you pull on the wire ( or slip a knife blade between the wires) it will separate from the white and black wires. Pull back about 1/2-1 inch and cut off the excess length of red wire and you're done.
