Is it possible to hook up two receivers in vehicle simultaneously?
#1
I have a Tekno, not that it matters, that I would like to have a receiver for the kids radio, and one to also use with my radio . In other words switch radios back and forth with out having to pull anything apart. I guess best option would be to just upgrade the kids radio. They are two different brands. Thanks for any feedback

You could, you would need to install a switch inline with the power from the bec. Also several y harness would be needed. One for the servo and one for the esc, this would also take up alot of space. Just put the red wire from your bec into a 3 position switch and have the 2 legs one goes to each receiver.

The easiest way to do it is to get traxxas
Get the latest TQI MODEL 6509R: trans and reciever kit
and a 2nd reciever

That way you can use any transmitter with any car and not have to worry about what drives what .

Very good point, maybe if you had 2 of the same radio? That would minimize the variance

I would just equip the two receivers with velcro tape, so they can easily be switched out. Just pull off the receiver and insert the two connectors, should be quick enough. I would prefer this myself over wiring up some monstrosity of y cables that allows either to be selected.
Another idea : mount both receivers, and if you have a receiver box, solder up a homemade 4 port connector bay hooked up to both rx and coming out of the receiver box. All you would have to do is swap the two connectors, which now can be done outside the rx box, and still protect the rx's. But i guess i'm back to lots of wires again, with less ease of use!

Most simple is use Velcro on the receivers for an easy mount and take out and replug the 2 wires.
