6 channel rx is an FM rx
2 channel Tx is AM
 so I don't think that it will work for you.
Note also that Futaba make the 2ch Tx both as 27 and 40 Mhz versions,
and these are not interchangeable, you must have the right crystals in the right Tx
New Rx is not too expensive, and  it's worth spending a little money to be sure that
your pride'njoy doesn't go careering away to end up as a pile of bits.   {:-{   :-))

Forgive Sir Dicky the Faux Pas
He was so overwhelmed by
his award that he cannot
tell his Tx from his Rx!

Try it on the bench, if both are AM then it might work. I regularly use a Futaba Tx and Hitec Rx and vice versa with no problem. FM seems to be more fussy.
