Re: Receiver/Transmitter Question

I am a new builder but have been registered to your site for several years!
My question is:
Can I use a two channel transmitter to operate a four chancel receiver?
I own a two channel transmitter, details of which can be found here:
http://www.rccarsandtrucks.co.uk/503_1_13386.html
The transmitter comes with a receiver that's too big to fit into my design unless I remove the case, so I'd like to use a smaller receiver, namely the Futaba R114F.
As I'm sure you are aware the R114F has four output channels. My design only requires two (no moving weaponry) so the transmitter suits my needs.
Back to the question, would the R114F be compatible provided the crystals match and the servos are plugged into the correct output channels, or am I walking into some kind of fiendish trap for the unwary?
Thanking you in advance
sorry to say this but i think the answer is no, the reason being the Futaba attack2 is am the R114F is FM i dont think thats compatible dispite being both 40MHz I hope i'm wrong thou

Unfortunately you're right Craig A quick search reveals that the T2ER is AM, and it certainly won't work with an FM receiver.
Worse still, I don't know of any small receivers that are AM.
It is possible to build an ant with a standard size receiver, just it's a bit more of a challenge!
