RE: can a new controller control old servos?
As long as the old servos are three wire leads, and you get the wires connected properly, there should be no proplems. If the servos are older 4, 5 or 6 wire servos, the only way they could be made to work on a newer reciever would be to replace the electronics internally. Cheaper, quicker and more reliable to just get new servos.
