You can use any servo with any reciever as long as the jack fits the reciever plug.

any servo fill fit the traxxas reciever. Especially since it is set up for futaba plugs which are the ones with the fin on the side. So any other companies will fit perfectly.

Please note that the traxxas radio have futaba plugs which is slightly different from the others.

all other servo plugs will fit, they are different in the way that they dont have the fin on one side. All you have to do is plug them in in the correct way since the fin isnt there as a guide anymore.

Really any plugs will fit into any receiver. Far as I've seen anyway. I have an airtronics receiver but a futaba servo with the tab. So you can either order a replacement cable (i did only because I broke one of the connectors accidently) or just take a dremel and sand them down on the sides a bit. Some plugs only require you to cut off the tab. Others you need to do a bit of filing and get those rounded edges. Takes less than a minute to do one so it isn't hard. It's how I have all my stuff.
