As an authorised FTX retailer based in the UK, RC Model Shop stocks this genuine component to support your RC hobby, whether you need it as a replacement, upgrade, or spare. This speed control and receiver combination eliminates the need to source separate components, saving time and ensuring perfect integration with your FTX Moray hull and mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Integrated Speed Control and Receiver — This unit combines electronic speed control (ESC) and receiver functionality in a single compact module, eliminating the need to source and install separate components. This integrated approach simplifies installation, reduces wiring complexity, and saves valuable space inside your RC boat hull.
• 2.4GHz Receiver Technology — The built-in 2.4GHz receiver provides modern digital frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology, which offers excellent range and immunity to interference compared to older analogue systems. This means you can enjoy reliable, responsive control of your boat from greater distances without worrying about signal dropout or cross-interference from nearby RC operators.
• Motor Speed Control — The integrated electronic speed controller manages power delivery to your boat's electric motor, allowing smooth acceleration, variable speed control, and the ability to operate across a range of throttle positions. This gives you precise command over your boat's velocity on the water.
• Compact Design for RC Boats — Specifically engineered for the FTX Moray platform, this ESC/receiver unit is dimensioned and packaged to fit seamlessly into the available space within your boat's hull without modifying the structure or compromising buoyancy and weight distribution.
• Genuine FTX Component — As an original manufacturer part, this unit is designed and tested to work perfectly with your FTX Moray boat, providing the performance and reliability you expect from FTX products. Using genuine spares ensures long-term durability and consistent performance.
• Easy Replacement — If your existing speed control/receiver unit has failed or been damaged, this replacement part allows you to restore your boat to full working order without purchasing an entirely new model. Simply disconnect the old unit and install this new one following the installation guide.

Technical Performance

The FTX Moray Electronic Speed Control/Receiver Unit represents a modern approach to RC boat electronics, combining two critical functions into one integrated module that simplifies the internal layout of your RC boat. The 2.4GHz receiver operates across the modern digital frequency spectrum, providing stable communication between your transmitter and boat with crystal-clear signal integrity. The electronic speed control component is engineered specifically for electric brushed motor applications, delivering smooth throttle response and reliable power management. The unit is built to withstand the unique environment of RC boating, where exposure to moisture and salt spray are constant challenges. The design prioritises reliability and ease of use, making it suitable for RC enthusiasts across the UK who want straightforward, dependable performance without unnecessary complexity. The engineering focuses on delivering consistent power delivery to the motor, responsive steering commands, and the durability needed for extended recreational boating sessions. Whether you're cruising on a calm lake or pushing through choppier water conditions, this speed control and receiver unit provides the electronic foundation your FTX Moray needs to perform at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is an electronic speed control (ESC) and receiver, and why do I need this specific unit for my FTX Moray? — An electronic speed control (ESC) is a device that regulates power delivery from your battery to the electric motor, allowing you to control the boat's speed with your transmitter. The receiver picks up the wireless signal from your 2.4GHz transmitter and decodes it into motor and steering commands. This FTX0770 unit combines both functions in one package specifically designed to fit the FTX Moray's internal layout. Using the genuine FTX component ensures perfect compatibility and reliable operation.
• Is this speed control and receiver suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The integrated design of this speed control/receiver unit makes it easier to install than a system with separate components because there's less wiring to manage. If you're familiar with basic RC electronics or willing to follow an installation guide, you can successfully install this unit. However, if you're completely new to RC boating, consider asking an experienced RC friend to help with the installation, particularly with the soldering of battery connectors.
• What battery does the FTX Moray ESC/receiver unit work with? — The FTX Moray is designed to work with rechargeable lithium polymer (LiPo) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMh) batteries. The specific voltage and capacity recommendations depend on your boat's motor specifications. You'll find detailed battery compatibility information in your FTX Moray instruction manual. Most users find that a compact 2S or 3S LiPo battery provides excellent performance for recreational boating.
• Can I use this ESC/receiver unit in other RC boats or RC cars? — This unit is specifically designed and optimised for the FTX Moray platform. While the 2.4GHz receiver technology is standard across RC applications, the physical dimensions, connector types, and internal programming may not be compatible with other RC models. For best results and guaranteed compatibility, use this unit exclusively in your FTX Moray boat.
• How do I install the electronic speed control/receiver unit in my FTX Moray? — Installation involves disconnecting your old ESC/receiver unit (carefully noting the wire connections), removing it from the hull, then positioning the new FTX0770 unit in the same location. You'll connect the motor wires, battery wires, and servo wires to the appropriate terminals on the unit, then secure it in place with the provided mounting hardware or double-sided tape. Always refer to your FTX Moray instruction manual for detailed step-by-step installation guidance specific to your boat revision.
• What is the 2.4GHz frequency technology, and why is it better than older RC systems? — Modern 2.4GHz digital RC systems use frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology, which automatically hops between multiple channels within the 2.4GHz band. This provides several advantages: immunity to interference from WiFi, Bluetooth, and other 2.4GHz devices; the ability to operate multiple RC boats in close proximity without signal interference; better range and signal strength than older 27MHz or 40MHz analogue systems; and increased security against signal hijacking. The FTX Moray receiver incorporates this modern technology as standard.
• Is this ESC/receiver unit waterproof? — While electronic components benefit from protection in a water-based environment, it's essential to understand that this unit, like most RC electronics, should be shielded from direct water immersion into the electronic circuits themselves. The FTX Moray boat hull design provides an internal compartment that keeps the electronics dry during normal operation. However, avoid deliberately submerging the electronics or exposing them to heavy spray. Always store your boat and electronics properly when not in use.
• Where can I buy the FTX Moray 2.4GHz Transmitter that works with this ESC/receiver unit? — The FTX Moray 2.4GHz Transmitter (FTX0778) is the compatible radio control transmitter designed specifically for the FTX Moray boat. RC Model Shop stocks this transmitter along with other FTX Moray spare parts and accessories. You can purchase it online from our website or visit our UK store location.
