Nope. The FASST receivers only work with the FASST 3PM.

You will need to get a FM 75 Mhz.receiver.

It won't work without a crystal on the same channel as your trans.

Get a crystal here and once you add it to your shopping cart it will ask you what channel you want.

You just change model numbers on the trans, nothing has to be done to the receiver.

Yes. Just make sure it is 75mhz FM and not AM. :thumbsup:

There is also a 113f and 123f that will work. Plus Hitec FM 75 Mhz receivers work also.

Yes. I'm 99% sure it will.

Also, if you don't need 3 channels in the vehicle you're putting it in, get a 2 channel receiver, it will be cheaper.
