Mike MR 0 Posted February 27, 2021 I would like to get my Hi-Lux Monster Racer up and running after 25 years. I want to continue using the original acoms radio gear (AP-227 MK3). Can I connect an ESC into the acoms receiver? If so, what ESC would be suitable? The current receiver does not have BEC on it and is sealed so cannot plug/unplug wires into it. I assume that definitely means I will need a different acoms receiver? All new to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiyabigstuff 832 Posted February 27, 2021 Easiest solution is to get a new 27Mhz receiver which you can plug the ESC into - you can continue to use your 27Mhz handset. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Collin 1956 Posted February 27, 2021 I think I still have one 27mhz ACOMS. You can have it for shipping cost, based in VIenna/Austria. I will have a look on Sunday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that an ACOMs receiver that I could connect a ESC to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Collin 1956 Posted February 27, 2021 I think its a blue acoms with 2 channels and batt in. Should work as far I know. I will post you some pics by next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately looks like ACOMs is a 40Mhz. Thanks for digging these out. Think I have managed to source one elsewhere! Will soon see if works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted March 4, 2021 Those 27MHZ RX's will work with a ESC like Hobbywing 1060 for example , if you have a 27MHZ handset ( if the RX's work ) or the Acoms if you have a 40MHZ one . You will need to check your steering servo as the plug might be too 'fat' for the newer receiver you are getting . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OgNewb 7 Posted March 8, 2021 Think of this as plugging into a extension cord. Not a wall socket. I would plug the steering servo into plug for channel one. Then plug in a esc with a 5volt output into channel 2. That should work. The old stuff like that is solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
