I've never experienced 27 MHz interference here.
72 MHz interference, I have.

JR vs. Futaba is usually a receiver thing, not an ESC thing. The plugs are slightly different, but JR plugs fit into Futaba slots as-is, and Futaba plugs fit into JR slots after a tiny bit of harmless surgery with an exacto knife.

Ok, but very fragile. Will probably strip in a hard crash. HS81MG would be a better choice.

The Hitec radio uses the same shift as Futaba gear, so you'll need one with a Futaba/Hitec negative shift. JR/Airtronics gear is unlikely to work.

Hopefully you didn't get a JR shift RX to go with the Hitec TX -- I don't think that model of TX allows you to change the shift (but some other Hitec radios do.)
