|  Transmitter/receiver compatibility
I've been trying to find the answer to this question on the forum but am not having any luck. It appears that, through a series of unfortunate evenst, I fried by much of the electronics on my Wheely King. I have ordered a new ESC (Moped) and a new steering Servo (TP mg945). I think my receiver is dead as well. My question is can you use different radios and receivers in combination if you use the correct crystals. For example, will a Traxxas receiver work with my HPI radio if I take the crystal from my old HPI receiver. I've read that all AM receivers will work will all AM radios - is this true? If so, will all crystals fit in all receivers or are their different "sockets"? I know this may be a stupid question but I need the answer soon as I want to order whatever parts ASAP - my crawler is going to be down now for at least three weeks and its killing me. Thanks for any help. Sean Last edited by SeanD; 06-19-2007 at 03:18 PM. |

So, something like this https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/c...=ns&pn=TRX2019 Would work with the stock Wheely King TX? Sean |

OK perhaps another dumb question but could I buy a Traxxas TQ3 TX and RX without the crystals and use the ones from my HPI radio system? Are the crystals compatible across systems of different makes? I'm learning - slowly!!! Sean |

rockwerks: I really appreciate your quick and very helpful responses. Can I bother you with one more? I am looking at this set: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tchlink:top:us Would this receiver be a simply drop-in for use with the Moped ? I am still trying to get my head around the BEC thing.

I added/edited another quick question to my last post but you responded before I got a chance to post it - is the TQ3 in the link above a simple drop in with the Moped and single servo. Last question, I promise!! |

BEC ratings on the ESC are the amount of power that the esc uses to power radio and servo equipment. bec's are rated in volts/ amps. the higher the numbers the better | |

27AM will work with any 27AM... However, 75AM won't work with any 75AM... I been looking for a FUT 75AM RX for a while now... I'm trying to get a 2nd RX for my Futaba 2PL and it seems it'd be cheaper to buy a whole new radio as I can't use just any 75AM RX... The 2PL RX is like, $60, the whole radio without servo's is about $70... >sigh< I guess I'll hafta break down and get another 2PL... Or wait a month-ish for the DX3R... |
