fm radio w/ receiver?
 

i have my car apart and wondering what to do from here. i just bought a jr xs3 fm synth radio for my 1/10 rcs, and since its winter, i cant use it anyway. can i exchange the receiver from the xmod to the jr receiver if i get it to fit? what will i need to do to it? or would it just be like too much freakin work? i just dont like that goofy controller they give you. plus i hate radio interference.

i already tried puttin the crystal in my 27 mhz am radio for 1/10, but it turns out the xmods are on some sort of 26mhz band.

any advice? thanks much

xmods will only work with their own controller i just tried the crystals out of my 1/10 n they worked with my xmod controller and car. Im not sure how hard it is to put different electronic in the xmod i was thinking of tring it myself sense i have a lot of stuff for bigger rc.

anybody know if i can though? and how?

heres a pic of what i got. notice the xmod receiver, and the purple arrow pointing to the three wires. those three wires are identical to typical rc receiver wires (also shown). can i cut those three wires on the xmod and re-solder the deal and plug it in channel 2 on the receiver (the channel an esc goes to on normal cars)? thus giving me a hobby grade receiver and radio?

That wouldn't work. The wires on the XMod board do different things than what channel 2 does. You would have no way to steer it. The best thing to do would be to find some way to mount a Hitec HS-55 servo to the stock chassis and get a micro speed controller. Then you could have a hobby grade radio.

You might be able to steer by plugging the xmod servo into the hobby class reciever I believe the wires do ,do the same thing.

actually that sounds like it might work with the servo thing. now just trying to mount the receiver... ill let you all know

I dont think its gonna work:(

yea, i tried it and it doest work, so now i have a messed up somethin... not sure exactly, just the car doesnt work now that its back together. learn from my mistakes! dunno what im gonna do now, might just get a mirco esc and make it all hobby grade. gonna cost me the same as if i just got a new stock xmod.

Hobby servos have 3 wires, and the Xmod servo has 5. Won't work.
