Default Updating receiver for a old Futaba transmitters (Going Micro)

I have a couple old Conquest FP-T4NBF Transmitters and want to change the receiver and servos to micro. Will these micro flight packs work or not? I'm new to this electric stuff so looking for some help. Thanks! [8D]

I'm guessing I'll have to match the crystals in them too.

What you are going to have to do is take the transmitter to a licensed radio technician to retune it as well as changing the crystals- that is an FCC requirement. And if you need to buy a new nicad pack for the TX you might as well buy a new transmitter.

Ask for crystals in the receivers that match the transmitter frequencies.
It's a simple plug in.

Yes... E-mailed Futaba tech. and they said it would work with the right crystals. Thanks!
