I have a pair of Tamiya RC tanks that I want to control with my Futaba 4VF Skysport transmitter. The radio came with one Futaba FP-R127DF 'dual conversion' FM 7-channel receiver with channel 72 (75.630 Mhz) surface frequency, which I plan to install into one of the tanks. I would to purchase a second receiver with an identical crystal to install into the second tank, which will hopefully allow the transmitter to control both tanks (at different times, of course).

I am new to RC and am wondering if this type of setup is possible, advisable or am I better off just getting another entire radio setup for the second tank..I believe that there will be some 'tuning' of the system for each different tank but feel that this will be a cost-effective method of controlling the two tanks.

To anyone with experience or comments on this approach or setup, I would truly appreciate advice, tips or feedback about this concept.

Thanks in advance!
