I have a sanwa (airtronics) 40 MHz FM transmitter and I would like to know if I have to use sanwa receivers or can I use any brand of FM receiver with it.

PS. I do not live in the USA and 40 MHz is legal were I live.

Thanks Pupmeister

The Hitec ones work using Sanwa crystals no problem they are also the cheapest

hi
i have found in my 18 year racing that the crystal has to match the transmitter and not the reciever

i use 40 meg KO vantage with KO, futaba ,novak and hitec recievers with out difficulty

[B]Im living here in austria (40 mhz country) and be very satisfied by hitec micro-40 receivers- they are cheap (eur 20,-) and very robust! you can have them from schweighofer company in austria.
good luck racing models!
