are you running at 72 or 75 mhz?

The 127df was the one that came with it but it is now disco'd
if your looking for small GWS makes a micro rx that will work with futaba and is dirt cheap http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHHR5&P=ML

It's such a pain finding rx's on 75MHz with more than 3 channels.
Do the GWS's come in 75MHz? Doesn't look like it to me, though it doesn't say at all what band it's on. Is there such a thing as a universal RX?
Otherwise it's another Futaba receiver for about $60 + crystal (8ch., FM, 75MHz), or a Novak XXtra synthesized (5ch., FM, 75MHz) for $65. That's probably what I'm going to eventually get to go with my Laser 6, unless I need the 6th channel for something.

hitec and JR makes universal rx units but there still 72 mhz, you can order just about any radio in 75 mhz, if your looking for a new one. same with rx units but you have to call and ask for them. I know that with jr you can order any radio custom built with any servo combo and on any freq. or at least you used to be able to.

Mine is a 72mhz FM radio. I am going to use it to run my crawler, so is this reciever going to work using 2 ESC's? Oh and what does GWS mean? Would a 6 channel reciever work with a 4 channel radio?
