Is it a nitro car or a electric one, alot of receivers I have only have channel 1 2 3 sometimes channel 3 is the bind port and on others channel 3 has batt next to it for nitro but seeing as how you said esc the receiver should work because on an esc there is a battery lead and an on switch, plug the steering servo into channel 1 and the esc to channel 2 remember one to turn two to burn any pics or any more help just lmk

 This is the only 2 plugs I have. I thought maybe I would use my old crystals but I guess I just bind it to the controller |

looks like one for the steering servo and one for the ESC, right? the ESC plugs to channel 2 on your reciever and the steering servo is channel 1. usually doesnt matter what the age of the rx/tx combo you're using as its usually set up how i said unless its some custom job.

Yup channel one to turn
Channel two to burn
The white connector on the esc is for that battery I actually have that same car youll love the car if you ever upgrade to brushless, hell its one of my favorite drift cars

Once you go brushless you never wanna go back lol theres alot more power at your finger tip for longer smoother drifts

Because you have to re wire the motor?

Nope if you look up brushless setups even from traxxas even thing is plug and play as long as both the esc and the motor are brushless on brushless there are 3 motor wires on brushed there are 2
