Since I burned my vesc and it took my receiver with it, I need a receiver that will work with my VX1 since the remote still works. Could I just use one of these cheap ones on amazon, or would I need to buy a new remote essentially?
I’ve emailed flipshit about being able to buy the receiver on its own but haven’t gotten a response yet, so still looking for solutions.
You couldn’t do that because different manufacturers use different frequency hopping spread spectrum types. The encoding and protocol are completely different for each brand. You gotta match the remote to the reciever.
I used a mini remote for about 500km on one build. I only ever had one cutout when i was holding the remote in my pocket against my body. It was brief, like half a second cutout, but other than that it was fine.
I think its a decent option if you want cheap for sure.
