Title: RC nitro or electric?
Post by: Trumpkin on December 12, 2007, 06:05:30 PM

Hi,
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?

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
