can i use a 75.570 mhz crystal on my tq3 27 mhz controller and reciever??
we just realized me and my buddy have the exact same frequency on our emaxx.
the only spare crystals we have our some 75 mhz for the reciever and the controller...will this work. i dont want to try it because im scared it might short somehting out in the traxxas controller and reciever and clues?
thanks

you wont short anything out by doing that, however im sorry but crystals on the 75 band will not work with 27meg radios, you'll need to get some 27meg cyrstals. i have a bunch of 27 meg cyrstals (i've gone 75meg fm) which one do you guys already have? should be color coded.

when?
all i've ever seen is 27mhz
blue,
you can try installing the 75 mhz x-tals in the radio
you won't hurt anything
weather they work or not, idk
i would think not but ????????
in any case
your lhs will have crystals
shouldn't be more that $10 - $12 or so for the set

It will work ,but you may suffer from servo twitch more.
lt will not damage anything to try it with engine off.

For one swapping 27 band AM crystals does work !! (transmit and receiver..old school trick from the 80's) It changes it enough that it wont cause interference..I say try it and prove me wrong..I just swaped transmit and receiver crystals in a savage and it worked..

lol wow,, did you even bother reading the rest of the post's before posting?
yes,, you can swap "27mhz" crystals in rx's and tx's that are "27mhz" the ? was if you can use "75mhz" crystals in a "27mhz" radio, in which, the anwser is no..

Yes I did..We use to swap 27 AM crystals (transmit and receiver) when I had my race track, So the guys could still race..I guess I miss took your reply..But if you read both of our responses you can see how this could happen.
