I have a redcat rockslide and two of my friends have the rs 10 and all of them have the same 27mhz crystals in them. it is an FM . can i just buya different mhz or no. i just dont know what i have to be concerned about when i go to order over the internet to make sure i get some that work and dont interfere with my friends crawlers. not much fun to sit and wait a turn!

You have to buy a different sub-frequency but still a 27Mhz crystal. If you can go to a local RC shop they will be able to help you out.

thank you engineerjoe, the only problem is my local hobby shop is 250 miles away. but you really helped me out anyway. thanks again

Might be easier for you to just order a set of 27mhz crystals in a different frequency than it would be to travel 250 miles for them. Plenty of websites sell them.

does it matter if they are 2ch or 3ch, i am pretty sure my remote says 3ch.  i just noticed that some crysttals had different channels?( as in 2 or 3 ch) thanks agian, just want to make sure i order the write ones.

I'm pretty sure the different channels on a crystal refers to whatever frequency it's on...so if you and someone else you crawl with both have channel 5 crystals, you'll get a lot of interference. As long as you buy 27mhz FM crystals you should be fine. Just be sure to get a different frequency than your crawling buddies have.
