a m8 3-model memory radio question/ help
hi guys, i have an airtronics m8 and i know that it has a 3-model memory capability but do no have the manual and dont know how/ what i need to set it up for a second car. right now the m8 and 1st car is set-up for 75 mhz and channel 69.
i know that i need a compatible receiver right? i was just thinkin of getting the same airtronics receiver that i have on my first car to simplify things, but i could use any airtronics receiver couldnt i? i would have to stick with the 75 mhz though, right?
for the receiver on my next car, i'm assuming i could just get another channel 69 crystal (the same that i have in my tx and 1st car) to save me money and not have to buy a second different tx crystal as well, and it would work on a second memory preset without any problem (even though it would be the same frequency as the first car and first model memory set-up)?
any answers or advice you guys can give me before i buy the second receiver and crystals would be great! thanks a bunch!

It has to be a FM 75mhz receiver and they used to come with a crystal in them but you had to request a specific freq or you might get any freq. The M8 has 10 model memory. The older calibers did 3. I think Hobby People had some receivers for ~ 30 bucks.

can it be any brand 75 mhz receiver then? and i can use the same channel 69 on both cars/model presets?

It has to be FM I know Novak receivers and JR will work with Airtronics I am pretty sure that Futaba will not work. Crystalls are brand dependant so JR with JR and Air with Air if I remember right.

thanks plumslow, but can i still use both rc cars w/ the same rx crystal (ch. 69) on different model memories? i will have the exact same receiver for both cars.

If you get an Airtronics receiver (Assuming that is what you have) and switch out the crystals between the cars yes you can use 2 different models for the 2 cars.
