I just tackled this ESC /servo tester throttle mod using the Turnigy servo tester .
http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8296&Product_Name=Turnigy_Servo_Tester
PS.. initially i thought i had screwed up and got the wrong servo tester. ! but....
This actually proved simpler than the others, requiring only the insertion of one jumper (after removal of the pot) from the input "signal " pin ,to the centre pin of the potentiometer socket.
So when used with an ESC /BEC , you can simply connect the throttle via the "input" socket of the (modified) servo tester and away you go !
Nice simple , quick , clean throttle interface. ! :wink:
To recap..
1) remove the potentiometer.
2) insert a jumper lead from the input signal pin to the potentiometer socket centre pin location.
3) reassemble and plug in your throttle.
And for Spinningmagnets.. this is used on an 18.5 V system, Turnigy Kforce 100A ESC, with the 63-54 motor, and a Hall effect thumb throttle.

just connect the output ( + , gnd ) of the BEC to the + and gnd of the servo tester, you could connect to the +,gnd of the throttle input.
Like this ?

1) When a throttle is talked about, from my understanding there are two basic choices, a Hall Effect throttle and a Resistance (Pot, potentiometer) throttle of 5,000 ohms (5K ohm). Which throttle is being used in this build where it replaces the Pot on the servo tester.
2) I pulled the pot out of my servo and measured the ohms, it came out to be 10.5K ohms, not even close to a 5K ohm throttle. Is there a 10K ohm throttle out there?
3) Is there a servo tester with a 5K ohm pot in it, so a 5K ohm throttle would be compatible with this servo tester?
4) The servo tester uses a pot that has 270 degrees of travel, allowing for fine adjustment. A throttle might have a 45 degrees to 90 degrees of travel, a much coarser adjustment. Is this a problem?
5) The hall effect throttles can be very inexpensive, $15.00 and under. The pot throttles that I have seen are like $50.00, are there any inexpensive pot throttles.
