I got an M8, but there is no rx. I think I'd like to finally use it (heard a lot of good things and it's in great shape and I've had it a long time) but I have no idea what receivers I can use.

What information do I need, or do I need any specific info to find the right receiver?

It all depends on what your transmitter module is on, 27mhz or 75mhz. Good choice though. I've used the M8 for several years now with my touring cars it'll do everything you could need and then some. Here's one, just search for 3 channel reciever if you need 3, there's a bunch.http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBJ76&P=7
It's only 2 channel but the airtronics 3 channel is like $85. For that you might as well get this...

I was going to suggest the Spektrum module as well.

These go for about $40-50
and these go for 30-40
Bids are high right now, but people well run out of xmas money soon. Things well return to normal.

Thanks guys, that is just what I was looking for. I have an MX3 (both radios are 75), could I use those rx if I used the correct crystal in them?

I'm not sure but I don't see why not. I know some of the radios use weird frequency "shifts" I guess.(sorry I'm not up on my elec engineering terms) Like putting futaba crystals in an M8 doesn't work they have to be airtronics/sanwa, but I don't think the reciever will care.
