Basically yes. Although, in most Opto ESCs, you still need the main battery connection as well.... at least that's how it is in the CC HV ESCs.

You'd laugh if you saw the iron I worked with. Since I knew those parts were destined for the trash, I heated one side of the IC while gently prying with a tiny screwdriver. The IC basically fell off when I heated the other side. I just cut the inductor out and then removed the leftover connections.

Of course! I wasn't using it anyway and it was added weight for nothing.

Let's see how long it lasts. I got this ESC really cheap, so if it blows, no biggie. It was more or less my experiment ESC. I've never blown an ESC yet, and I hope not to change that, so hopefully things will be good. The only things that can go wrong now is if the external UBEC fails (sending full B voltage to the internals - ouch!), or if the ESC simply decides to do a Schulze on me.

And neil, I have one thing to say to you:
