You should be able to use car RXs. I don't know if the VEX TX is positive or negative shift, however. Do the shifts for car RXs match the shifts for plane RXs? Futaba, Hitec = negative, JR, Airtronics = positive?
Cars use a lot more AM gear, so you'll probably need to make sure you get a FM RX. At least I assume the VEX TX is FM.
In any event, if you really do want a RX that can do 72 MHz and 75 MHz, the seven channel Sombra labs SHadow 3 fits the bill -- and I suspect it's the only thing available that does.

it doesn't take crystals at all, but can use any of the R/C channels in the 72 MHz or 75 MHz bands. It also can deal with both positive and negative shift.
Personally, I've got two of them and I'm unimpressed with them -- they seem to get into trouble very easily and stop responding to what I'm telling them, in situations where other RXs work fine. But for land use (where you don't go too far away) they might be great -- but there are other synthesized (no crystal) RXs for car use available too.
