Reciever Compatablity Question

[3Nracer]

Hey I was wondering if I use a Hitec transmitter and a Hitec servo, is it ok to use a different brand reciever? [Thanx]

Only aftermarket ones manufacturerd for Hitec radios. Most others may vary a bit on their transmitter frequency that they won't work with another manufacturer. Servos aren't a problem, you just change the plug and wire arrangement.

Only Hitec specified recivers will work. but servos can be used with many different brands of recievers. I know when using futabaJ conectors to make it hitec you just shave off the little bump on the one side and it will work with hitec. The difference mainly is the way that the signal is transmitter. Here is an example JR signals are sent the opposite polarity of Futaba.

There is one caveat to that. If you look at Novak's recievers(their XXL is a good example), you'll notice that on the 75MHz ones there is a version for each brand of radio. But on 27MHz there isn't, they all seem to work the same way. So if your transmitter is on 27MHz then you may not need to worry much about what brand a reciever is set up for....:cool:

I don't really understand any of that but thanx for the reply. Mine is 27mhz, so I'll take your word for it. Just in case you guys are wondering, the reason I ask this is because I don't want to spend much money on a reciever and there's cheaper brands than hitec. If anyone disagrees with Grizzbob, tell me [Thanx]
