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.
If you don't want to get a HAM license, Futaba may be able to change the transmitter to surface. This page:
