Using the Hobby King 2.4GHz for Land Vehicles?

[brijar]

Ok, so I'm in the market to get a really cheap 2.4GHz radio system, as I really don't want to blow the money on a Spektrum or JR or Futaba radio. I noticed Tower now offers a nice looking $80 2.4GHz radio, and there's the $80 Big Offroader as well. I've noticed Hobby City has been mentioned a lot lately, so I went over there and found some very nice looking $30 2.4GHz radios. My only problem is that they are stick style radios and that they are airplane radios. Now I don't know what the differences are between the two radio types, but I know that it's hard to use Airplane ESC's in an RC car, but that may just be the design of the ESC.

Would I have any trouble using one of these airplane radios with my Mamba Max and Traxxas servo? I looked at a review of the radio, and I think I could probably take it apart and put the electronics into one of my Traxxas radios. I would have to make sure that the pots are the same in the Traxxas radio as in the HK one, though I may be happy just to learn with the sticks.

Thanx,
Brijar!!!
