Don't mix brands of crystals. If you need a crystal change go to Radical RC's web site, you can send in a frequency crystal and get it changed for a different frequency for $5.00. Its a great deal.

You might have a larger problem however, JR is a postitive shift system while Futaba is a negative shift system. The transmitter and receiver much match shifts.

Right!!! JR won't work with Futaba. JR and Airtronics go together and Futaba and Hitec go together. You can't mix unless you have a receiver that is shift selectable on it. Hope this helps. Gerry

Thanks guys. My reciever is GWs 6CH Naro type CE. I dont see any where shift selectable on it. it seems to be a basic reciever.

I pretty sure that won't work. It really sucks!!!! I found out the hard way also. Had to sell some receivers. Gerry

Yep, it takes more than just putting a JR crystal in the receiver to make it JR compatible.

Receivers are generally designed around crystals of a certain frequency that are manufactured to a certain tolerance. That varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. You ALWAYS want to get the correct crystal for the receiver for the best and most reliable performance. Otherwise, you're just shooting in the dark. It may work, or it may not. It may work now, but might not when the airplane gets a few hundred feet away. It may work fine at a few hundred feet away now, but two flights later, who knows?
