Binding question

[Daniel C]

Can I bind any remote to any kind of esc?

You bind it to the receiver not the esc and I think you can. I remember binding an aftermarket transmitter to my rustler I used to have.

The receiver has to be compatible with the transmitter you are trying to bind it to.

Ok thanks. Wasn't shure

I’m wrong Grey wolf is probably right. You need to get a receiver compatible with your controller. I wasn’t sure I haven’t changed a receiver in a while.

Ok I got it. The esc only feeds the receiver with power. As long as I get a controller and receiver combo I can use any motor ESC combo I won't.

Yeah basically. The ESC powers the RX (receiver) and your servo(s) through the positive and negative wires in teh 3 wire leads, but the RX tells the ESC and the servo what to do via the signal wire which is the 3rd wire in the 3 wire lead. Then of course the ESC feeds and controls the motor itself. You are correct though that if you have a stand alone TX (transmitter/controller) and RX then you can run any ESC/Motor combo you want.
