Its been years since I last looked in a focus but that Servo plug you are holding may not work in your tx, to find out you only need to pop that battery out of the tx and look.

Agine if you are contemplating an attempt to use those old batteries no matter how pretty they look and even if you cycle them they are gonna come back to bite you in butt without a doubt.

I can,t keep count of all the folks who I watched that have found a great treasure in old radios and insisted on using old unknown or unused packs and watched their big find auger large holes an divits in the runway, that's the truth!
