Is there a difference between nitro gas rc recievers and electric ones?

i would assume so, since they activate different components....


why do you ask?
Check out the Roboduino, Arduino-compatible board!

The recievers are the same as all they do is recieve the RC commands and then tell the speed controller or the steering servo what to do.
I believe the speed controller is different though as with nitro it would have to rev the engine higher, (I believe with a servo?) and with an electic it changes the amps to the motor.
Hope this helps.

on nitro the servo opens teh carb, and on electric the esc gives more power
