    mix receiver

    halo, being a newbie, i would like to ask whether is it possible to use a rc plane transmitter with a car transmitter? is it legal also? what will be the complication (if any)

    would like to diy a rc car using a plane transmitter.

    newbie.

    Hi terry72,

    It is possible to use an airplane transmitter to operate an RC car. The only thing to take note is that the channel allocation will be different. Rudder channel (ch 4) will be the car steering and speed controller for plane on ch 3 will be the car throttle channel from channel 2. There shouldn't be any concern so long you are using legal commercially available transmitter operating within CAAS frequency requirements.

    Plus, the end point calibration of your throttle stick on your plane transmitter will have to be changed to mid-point (for reverse and forward). The receiver of course will have to be compatible and binds with the same transmitter you are using. Naturally it is recommended to use a car TX on a rc car as stick controller are designed to have better and efficient control of the car, likewise to that of an aircraft tx to a plane.

    Hope that helps.

      hi ebpwu,

      appreciated your help, so i should use channel 2 for throttle and channel 4 for steering?
      btw is this mode 1 or mode 2? do i have to calibrate the throttle stick if the transmitter is new?

        Welcome Terry72,

        On your aircraft receiver use ch3 for throttle and ch4 for steering. Mode 1 or Mode 2 depends on your own preference. If you like to use your left hand for throttle then mode 2 will be ideal for you. You might be aware that stick transmitter for cars also uses left hand for throttling and right hand for steering. Yes in general the speed controller for your RC car requires end point calibration in order to determine forward, reverse and stop.

          HI Terry,

          to use a stick control for car is quite a challenge. But if you are building a tank, then stick control is a good choice.
          Having said that, many top RC racers in the world use stick control.

          Since you are using a stick control, you probably have been using it to fly a plane.
          So whether it is mode 1,2 to, just follow which ever way that you have been using.
          Maybe left hand for throttle and right for steering?

            hi mave,

            what is the difference in controlling a tank and a car? also is it possible to have both throttle and steering on the one side instead and leaving the other side free for some other uses like fpv cam?

              yup, you should be able to do that.
              or you can just leave the control of the FPV cam to the headtracker, leaving your hand free and use the other sticks to control other equipment, like a turret maybe?

                so generally, there isn't any specific type of receiver for specific rc, it all depend on how you connect them, right?
                regardless of channels, I can use a normal plane/quadcopter transmitter/receiver for car/tank and vice versa?
                what about esc? i know plane esc are different, but is tank esc different from car esc?
