Can operate a relay directly from receiver?

[sparkycuda]

Since I have no experience with RC to draw on, I need some help. Can I drive a 3.3 VDC reed relay directly from the Signal and Ground posts on the receiver? The ON time would be 5 seconds, about every 10 minutes. Wanting to operate a small motor - at one speed - and the relay would provide power from an isolated battery supply to the motor.

If this won't work or may damage the receiver, I'll have to get something like the PicoSwitch.

Thanks!

Hope everyone has a great time at Indy. We are leaving tonight for family reunion in Buffalo - I think about Freddy Gear Drive whenever we visit up there.
