I use Futaba, Hitec, and Tower receivers with my Futaba radio. All work well. The Tower 7 channel receiver is supposed to be a rebadged Futaba receiver. Since it comes with the crystal, it's a good value. When you look at receivers, make sure the plug slots have the cutouts for the tab that's on the Futaba style plugs. If you buy one that doesn't, you have to cut the tabs off in order to plug in the servos and battery.
