because i just bought this reciever today and its not working. please help me out

It could be a bad crystal but I would make sure that the receiver is on the right shift for your transmitter.

Try using a receiver battery and pull out the ESC cable so you are only testing the elevator and rudder (or aileron) servos. Perhaps the BEC on the ESC is bad.

Good luck!

I found out that for JR only the 9 channel Rx's use Dual Conversion crystals after being sold 1 at the LHS they ordered for me and it didn't work. I got a single conversion crystal and it's been fine since. I figured the LHS would get me the right type of crystal since I told them exactly what it was going into. Nope Danny at JR/Horizon Hobby knew exactly what it was.

its not the esc because i checked that on my good reciever for my gas plane. so im hoping its the crystal, and i want to know something, GWS suggested a 7.2 volt battery, im using a 8.4 volt but i am using a watt age 10 a speed controller. could the battery have killed the other reciever or the crystal?

i got a new crystal and it still doesnt work...whats going on?!?!?!

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

are you conecting the battery straight to the reciever or through the esc?
if its thro the esc it should be fine
but if its straight into the reciever i think you may have burned it out
im not sure if the gws reciever can hadle it i know the cheapo 3 ch no name will burn out right away if u put over 6 volts in em

try flipping the crystal around and clean the ends with rubbing alcohol
did you buy a new set of crystals or just a revicer crystal?
