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.

i do understand but people kept confusing me by saying that esc and ep are the same, esc is board, ep is board ect... but thanks for telling me.
