Hitec doesn't use high/low band with their receivers. You should be fine.

Some people say it works, but you're taking quite a risk. Not only might you have reduced range, but using Futaba crystals in Hitec equipment may produce noise on neighboring frequencies. Not just the RC channels, but also the industrial (primary) users who pay BIG bucks to have their frequencies. Do you really want to be responsible for heavy industrial equipment going haywire and hurting / killing someone? 
Please, pay it safe and get the right crystal - they're not expensive ($10), and MUCH cheaper than a lawsuit.

Sorry, but a wrong RX crystal is not going to generate RF noise. It might accept some though, so it is just better to get a Futaba crystal.
