I live in Canada (obviously)....Horizon has a separate repair form for us Northern folk. Minimum 15 dollar fee, half hour at 30 bucks an hour, plus 10 bucks to ship it back to me. The new receiver is around 60 bucks. I know that channel modification is highly frowned upon for very good reasons. I'm not sure I understand how I can safely use another manufacturers receiver with my radio, say a HITEC Electron 6 or something.....
If all you need is a four channel RX, I have had really good luck using the little Berg Microstamp RX's with my JR Sport TX. They are auto-shift detecting, and cost about $30 (US). They do only have four plugs, though, so you need a Y harness to attach the battery/switch to any one of the servo connections.
