Default compatible radio and reciever

hi all,
i have a few compatability questions. im in the process of piecing together parts and a kit for an entry level crawler, specifically the tamaya land cruiser kit.
i have a specktrum dx3s radio i run on my revo 3.3 can i use a spectrum reciever for the tamiya even though it doesnt have a drag brake. the radio does have settings for braking bias so i figured i could adjust that to act like a drag brake.
and i currently have a few waterproof servos laying around (traxxas) and thought i might use that as a steering servo.

i plan on mud, rocks, and dirt, and want to keep waterproofing in mind. thanks for your imput.

Receivers generally don't have drag brake. That's built into the esc depending on which one you get. So, yeah, you can use your spectrum receiver. Just get a crawler esc and you'll have drag brake.
