I think the bigger problem is that the RC has its radio channel set in hardware with the little switches, so you wouldn't be able to communicate with any other RC's.
Is that REALLY set in hardware? I was under the impression that it was under code control, and that the code simply set it according to those DIP switches. That would be really easy to abuse.
