Hello, I was wondering if you guys can recommend a receiver for the Savage XL nitro . It is over 12 years old, has the old 2 channel transmitter. The truck runs great but suddenly lost all receive, I purchased a new battery, still doesn't work. Its old, so I thought about putting a new upgraded receiver in it. It would be curious to know if I can use my same 2.4 mhz 3 channel transmitter I use on my Rovan 450. Thank you for all ideas !
 
Thanks for the recommendations. Im not very experienced and wanted to first see what you guys think. I was running the old Savage XL for a few days, doing some decent bashing and tumbles, no problem, then suddenly mid run , i lost complete control of the truck signal wise. I checked everything, nothing damaged, I thought it was bc of the 12 year old battery so i replaced it. Still no signal. Transmitter appears fine new batteries with led output working. And I checked the antenna connection it is good. So my only thinking was the receiver went out. Does anyone have any other thoughts before i buy a replacement. Im only guessing this is the problem. I don't think the servo's bc the truck doesn't respond to steering or throttle, like no signal at all. Thanks for all the ideas !!
 
Go the futaba route. I have a 3pv as well. I run a 3 channel reciever on my Savy, then have another reciever for the dbxl on it. Super easy to switch back and forth between the two.
