Hitec Radio to Control Airtronics Receiver?

[grandmasterofpool]

I have a Hitec Lynx Am radio that is on channel 62. I also have one of the old style airtronics 2 channel am receivers. If I get a crystal on the same channel for that receiver will I be able to use that radio with it without any problems? Thanks.

No. The Hitec and Futaba's will work together and the Airtronics and JRs work together.

I also have two Traxxas servos. Will those work in a Hitec or Futaba receiver?

The Traxxas servo will work with the Futaba reciever. Thats how my Rustler is configured.

not sure about the radio and receiver, but I think you wouldn't have any prob's with the two. If you cut the little tab on futuba J connector you have a airtronics plug, you won't have a problem with the plugs just the wires might be wired incorrectly.

but that doesn't apply to your question. I think the tx/rx thing will work.

A Hitec radio will NOT work with a airtronics radio.
The Traxxas servos will work fine. You can use any servo combo with any radio as long as you change to the right plug or adapt the plug to fit.

Ok let me make sure I have this straight. If I get a Hitec or a Futaba AM receiver on the same channel as my AM Lynx radio then I can use the stock Traxxas servos on my Rustler without any problems? Thanks again guys.

Yes sir. If you use a Futaba Rx then the traxxas servo will plug right in. If you use a Hitec Rx then you will need to file off the tab.
