Could I use a Futaba Remote Control to control wirelessly a motor and two servos connected to an arduino/Motor Shield? For an RC Car.

(2.4GHz FHSS Futaba 4YF 4-Channel Transmitter)

Yes. You take the pulse signal from the receiver and connect it to the Arduino. Some code on the Arduino determines the length of the pulse and converts that to what ever signals you need to control your motors. Rather convoluted, but it would work.

nice idea, while rc receiver can control servo & motor, with the arduino attached to it you can control switches as well, I still have the setup of running BLDC motor using arduino on my work board, i will try this idea as well.

Thanks
