In an Xmod, they are correct. However, in most hobby grade electronics, this does not always hold true. Xmods electronics boards are integrated; the ESC and receiver are all on the same "board." However, when you jump to other electronics, they are not integrated. MiniZ "boards" are the same way; the ESC and receiver electronics are all on the same "board."

But, when you take a look at something like a 1:18th scale RC, this doesn't hold true. Take a look at the Associated RC18's, they have a receiver (Associated TR203A 2-channel) and an ESC (Associated XPS micro). The receiver receives the data transmitted from your transmitter and tells the rest of the electronics what to do (servo and ESC). Without one or the other, your RC will go no where under your power.
