Im not sure if this has been asked before, but, i looked and couldnt find anything on it. Basically, my question is, if i upgrade from a brushed to a brushless motor, do i also need to change the receiver? I know i need the brushless motor and ESC, but, is that all i need. For example, and, just for my own knowledge, since i am always trying to swap and mix and match stuff, but, have never done much interchanging of electronics, say i have a Redcat Hexfly receiver, and a Racers Edge ESC and brushless motor, can i just plug the ESC into the existing receiver, or, do i also have to use the matching Racers Edge receiver? Another example, and one im really more interested in is, i have an Arrma Fury, and what i want to actually do is take the receiver from that, and put into a Redcat Volcano, since my 9 year old is more comfortable with the Arrma ATX 300 transmitter i have, due to being able to move the steering wheel to different positions. This way, if i can do mix and match like that, i can swap the Arrma receiver into her Redcat, and then use her Redcat receiver and transmitter for the Fury, or, even use the Racers Edge transmitter and receiver in the Fury. I am also picking up a used Arrma Senton on monday, that needs a mtor and ESC, so, i am going to use the brushless motor and ESC from my racers edge Pro 2 that i destroyed, and keep the original Transmitter that comes with the Senton. I may also end up using the Redcat transmitter in the Senton, my Racers Edge transmitter and receiver in the Fury, and my ATX 300 for the Volcano, which is why i am asking about doing just random swaps from vehicle to vehicle. I like the Racers Edge and the Redcat transmitters, but, when i tested out the Senton today, i wasnt really keen on how that transmitter felt. Sorry if this seems at all confusing, im just trying to list all the possibilities i can think of, just in case one combo, say the Redcat receiver and Racers Edge ESC will work, but, say, the Racers Edge ESC and motor wont work with the ATX300 and receiver. Im also trying not to do trial and error, so i don't ruin anything.
