Hi,

I currently have an airtronics m11 radio with both fhss-2 and fm modules. the fhss-2 is already set up in my offroad rig and i'm thinking of getting into 1/10 ep. my question is can the fm radio be used with a 1/10 bl setup or do i need to buy another fhss-2 receiver?

no one ever ran a brushless car with an fm radio?

Yes they have.. many of US have done this..

Fluke

and? can it be done or a 2.4ghz system is essential for bl? thinking about glitches mainly

Im currently preparing a return to racing. I'm gonna use my KO FM radio and have it with a brushless set up. Admittedly, i've only had it on the bench so far, but appears to work without any issues. So long as your radio, receiver and crystals are in good order and you follow basic requirements to minimse interference (receiver location in car, undamage aerial wire, good TX battery voltage, etc.) you shouldn't have a problem.

thanks. let me know how your setup turns out

No reason to not run FM in a brushless setup. I'm hoping you are not in the US where 40mhz in NOT a legal channel for RCs.

Fluke

it's perfectly legal where i am

thanks for the feedback

Radio modulation and brushless motors are mutually exclusive.

You can use a brushless motor with any modulation; AM, FM, 2.4 or anything as long as your receiver feeds the signal to the ESC.
