How does your Nitro RC have an ESC? An ESC is an electronic speed control, and if it's a Nitro RC, an ESC is not needed. A receiver is to maintain control, but not an ESC. I don't believe you quite understand the difference between an ESC and a receiver.

An electronic speed controller (ESC) is what powers the motor (forward and reverse function) of your RC. However, a receiver is what transmits the signal from your RC (RX receiver) to your transmitter (TX transmitter) which tells the RC what to do. This is then relayed over to the servo, telling it to go left or right, or the ESC, telling it go forward or reverse.

From what I gather, you believe an ESC is a receiver. Which it is not.
