The old connector is voltage so don't plug it in there. There is a mod out on the forums that tell you how to do it. Esky basically cut the pins off so the consumer would not plug something into them. So now you have to solder to the pins that are cut off.

Status: online 		Take the reciever apart and you can see the pins that have been remove on channels 3 and 4 maybe. Not sure of the numbers but you can figure it out pretty easy. You only need the pulse wire and the ground wire not the red. Get a connector that will work with your servo and solder em in. Test it out and make sure you have it right. You have to get power while your in there also. I did find this link.

Status: online 		Well you need to solder the wires on channel 3 to get the throttle channel. It will be the short pins. Look at the pics on the link I posted above and you will see.

Status: online 		It should work unless your battery is totally dead and if that is the case your battery is no good now. Is it a Lipo battery? The pics all look good and in the first one you have the red wire disconnected. It looks OK there and ready to go.

Status: online 		You don't really need it. You could have it on the wrong channel. Is the ESC arming. It should beep or have a light on it. I don't use esky stuff so I am not sure when it arms but, It sounds like it is not arming. Do you have it on channel 3 or 4. I will do some research and make sure which one it is. Let me know.

Status: online 		It is definitely channel 3. You are soldered to channel 3 are you not. Also when you plug in the battery you need to make sure the throttle stick is all the way down and the trim tab is all the way down. The idle up switch should be flipped away from you (down).
