How flexible are receivers to using different freq crystals?

I would like to use a VEX 75 Mhz FM PPM TX sending to  a 72 PPM
receiver with a 75 crystal plugged in.

I have never done this!!
And i think that it will not work,if i remember right!
The cost for a crystal is to little(almost 10$)...

Normally you adjust a component to "tune" the circuit to a set frequency
a bit like tuning a guitar but you need several pieces of test equipment
to do it
