Don't most savers with soundboards run 7.4 batteries? And is that a negative or a positive that it would use a huge resistor? How would you normally wire a white FoC? Could you please link that other forum post you mentioned so I can read up on it

For quite a while 7.4v was all most sabers had. It can be a negative if you don't have space for it. I posted the link to the other resistor post, as far as the rest, I strongly recommend that you take your time and read through the forums.

Thanks a lot sorry for having to deal with these questions that would be trivial for you haha

The external resistor is big, but when I think about that heat on the board instead, I cringe. Keep the board cool and use the external resistor. It also has the added benefit of being able to hook the battery directly up to it if you need some inspiration during the build. Sometimes, I just need to see a pretty light to make me happy, from time to time. LOL.
