Hello All! I have a nitro RC-10 GT with a .15 nitro engine and a 27mhz HiTec radio with a non functioning Traxxas receivefr. I want to convert it to 2.4. Nothing fancy or expensive, just something to knock around with. Am I in for any surprises or is this a simple swap? 30 years flying r/c airplanes, new to cars and trucks. Thank you for any tips and advice. BTW I'm looking at either a simple 2 or 3 ch. Spektrum or Tactic radio. I fly with Tactic.

Should be no surprises at all. Take out the older receiver, store the old radio wherever you put your memories (round file if that's what you want) and replace with a new, low cost one. The servos should be fine. I do suggest you replace the receiver battery, too, but just go with a low cost NiMH. It's amazing how much capacity they have now.
