Have some questions about an rc controller

[ILAMtitan]

The 5V signal from a regular RC receiver will work to command the Tallon.

However, the Tallon is what is called an isolated motor controller. In many RC systems the motor controller has the 12V->5V regulator that powers the RC receiver. The Tallon is internally powered from the 12V line, but it also needs 5V on the PWM +V pin. You will need something called a BEC or UBEC to convert the 12V battery voltage to 5V, and feed it into the receiver for distribution. You can get one of these for a few bucks on Amazon.
