Key Features
- 3 in 1 Integrated Design — This unit combines the receiver, brushed ESC, and control circuitry into a single compact package, reducing the overall component count in your RC car and simplifying the building and installation process significantly.
- Brushed ESC Technology — The integrated brushed electronic speed controller is optimised for brushed motor systems, providing smooth throttle response and reliable power delivery to your RC vehicle's motor.
- Compatible with FTX Models — Specifically designed for FTX RC car platforms, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with existing FTX hop-ups and option parts available throughout the RC car UK market.
- Compact Form Factor — The integrated design means the overall footprint is smaller than using three separate components, making it ideal for models with limited internal space or where weight savings are important.
- Ready to Integrate — This component slots directly into compatible FTX RC models, making upgrades and repairs straightforward for builders of all experience levels.
Technical Performance
The FTX Comet Receiver/Brushed ESC 3 in 1 unit delivers dependable performance for brushed motor RC cars. As an integrated electronic component, it handles both the signal reception from your RC radio transmitter and the speed control of your brushed motor system through a single, compact assembly. The brushed ESC portion of the unit is engineered to work efficiently with standard brushed motors commonly used in entry-level and mid-range RC cars throughout the UK market. The receiver portion maintains reliable radio communication with compatible FTX transmitters and radio systems, ensuring responsive and lag-free control of your model. The integration of these three functions into a single unit reduces electrical resistance and potential signal loss, contributing to overall system efficiency and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX models is the Receiver/Brushed ESC 3 in 1 FTX9104 compatible with? — This unit is designed for FTX Comet and other compatible FTX RC models. Before purchasing, verify compatibility with your specific FTX model by checking the model's parts list or contacting our team at RC Model Shop.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC cars? — Yes, this component is suitable for builders of all levels. However, you will need basic soldering skills and understanding of RC car electronics to install it properly. If you're entirely new to RC cars, you may want to consider a ready to run RC car package that comes fully assembled.
- What battery does this need? — The specific battery requirements depend on your FTX model and brushed motor combination. Generally, brushed motor systems work well with both LiPo and NiMH batteries, but consult your model's manual for exact battery specifications and voltage recommendations.
- What is the difference between this 3 in 1 unit and using separate receiver, ESC, and servo components? — The primary advantage of this integrated unit is space savings and simplified installation. By combining three functions into one package, you reduce wiring complexity, eliminate potential connection failures, and free up valuable chassis space. The tradeoff is that if one component fails, you replace the entire unit rather than just the individual failed part.
- Can I use this with any RC radio transmitter? — No, the receiver portion of this unit is compatible with FTX radio systems. You will need a radio transmitter designed to work with FTX receivers to use this component effectively.
- Do I need any additional components to use this? — Yes, you'll need a compatible brushed motor, battery pack, radio transmitter, and of course, an FTX chassis or model designed to accommodate this electronics unit. The 3 in 1 design handles speed control and signal reception, but you still require these peripheral components to build a complete RC car.
