An ESCs throttle input is pretty simple really: it expects a minimum "on" signal of 1ms pulses and a maximum "on" signal of 2ms pulses (50-60Hz frequency). It just depends what your radio puts out.

A wheel radio is set up for 1ms - 1.5ms - 2ms pulses for reverse/brake - neutral - full throttle, respectively.

An air radio is set up for 1ms - 2ms pulses for neutral - full throttle respectively.

Depending on the radio you get, you may be able to emulate both these modes by setting the EPA. But if you have an inexpensive wheel that is not sufficiently adjustable, the pistix module does it for you on the receiver end.
