Can I use a 6-channel Receiver w/ a 2-channel Radio?
With the 2.4 GHz radios, if both are DSM, is it possible to bind a 6-channel receiver to a 2-channel radio? Will the throttle / steering still work and the other 4 channels just be dead?
Thanks,

Seriously tho, I don't see why that would not work unless you have different types of DSM i.e. the DX6/AR6000 stuff is DSM while all the newer stuff is DSM2. Now, you can make an aircraft system with one of the newer DSM2 tx's run in DSM mode with an AR6000, but the DX6 tx will only run DSM.
I don't know anything about the car/surface sets, but if both the tx and rx are the same format it should work. This also assumes (I know that's not good to assume) you're talking about Spektrum since you said it was DSM vs. FASST?
Try it and see if the rx will bind.
