Hi Joe,
The short answer to your question is...... NO
The receiver and the transmitter are both tuned to different frequencies, hence they will not work together. The crystals only work at the allocated bands in their respective frequencies. Your receiver is tuned to work only within the 27Mhz frequency range so sticking a 40Mhz crystal in will not change it's tuning, it just won't work.
Furthermore, you cannot open up a receiver or transmitter to retune the pots inside to whatever frequency you wish, as they will only allow whatever the intended frequency range the equipment was designed for...that is done to comply with respective legislation from whatever country it is to be sold or operated in.
The only universal part of the radio kit is the servo's, as they usually come fitted with the same plugs for 27, 35 & 40 Mhz bands (providing all the radio kit is the same make)
You can get 40 Mhz receivers cheap on ebay, so why not bag one on there.
Hope that helps
Regards........Mark.
