Do you have a matching receiver to go with your transmitter? If so you should be fine.

As long as the radio has enough channels for the necessary functions I don't see that you would have any problems. Since most people are on modern 2.4ghz radios these days you shouldn't have much problem with overlapping frequency either.

That’s my issue. Most are 2.4ghz. Is there a heli that I can purchase that uses 72mhz still available ?

It should just be a matter of plugging your 27mhz receiver into the esc.

Are all ESC’s setup for either 2.4 ghz and 72mhz??

Yes, they are fully compatible. As long as it's getting a signal, it should work.
