- The polarity of the FM signals needs to match what the receiver expects (Is the high freq a "pulse" or is it a "rest"?).
- The ordering of the channels will be an annoyance , but not fatal if that is the only incompatability with a non-vex receiver.
These are the thngs that come to mind as a result of studying this sort of Tx/Rx system for the last few days. There may be others.
Then you need to move to determining whether the receiver's output wiring/signals matches the wiring/signals of the equipment you want to connect to it....
The subject is a bit tangled, but research and/or careful trial and error testing can get you the answer. Without specifics, you are stuck in the land of "Maybe".

Blake,
Maybe is better than not possible.
Crystal: The channel 89 VEX RX crystal which comes with the add-on kit, is 'standard' sized and it apparantly fits Futabas, Bergs, and others. (Not so the TX crystal). (3 sets of VEX crystals (6) available for $10 on Ebay)
That leaves the polarity issue. TBD.
The TX takes 8 AA cells. Rechargeable NiCads in my fridge.
