ORIGINAL: PhatMan Hey guys i have a dumb question to ask if i have two 3 channel traxxas receivers and one traxxas 3 channel radio and they have the same channel crystals would I be able to run two cars using the one radio? thanks guys let me know
If the second receiver is the same frequency and operation as the first, i.e. AM, PPM(FM) or both PCM then the transmitter will control the second receiver in the same manner as the original. Howeverm if you are thinking of running both cars at the same time, yes that is feasible but the throttle responses may vary, friction will make one car slower than the other and any objects in the way or uneven surface will see the cars go their separate ways and control, apart from stopping, becomes very difficult.
Much more information on my web page under"Radio Systems, Accessories, Alterations and FAQ"
