Default Please help with radio equipment

A few months ago I purchased an older 6 channel transmitter from ebay for cheap and have been researching trying to figure out what I have to buy to get it working. I'll be using the radio for a tank I've been building. I figured I would ask in this forum since it's an aircraft radio.

The radio is a Futaba T6XA. I searched for manuals online and the only one I can find is a 6XA which I would imagine is the same thing. What I'm missing is a receiver and receiver crystal. I have a crystal in the transmitter that is on 50.960 (which they say is 08) Here is a link to the manual.

It says it came with an R127DF receiver. The problem I'm having is that there are low bands and high bands? Low band says from channels 11-35 and I need 08.....

I found this flight kit.

Then if I get this crystal (the 08 crystal) I would be ok correct?

I'm just confused as to all the bands and fequencies and what will work with what. I don't even want the 3003 servos or battery in that flight pack but its the only thing I can find with that receiver in it.

Thanks in advance for the help!
