Is This Intentional?
I am installing a Spektrum A8010T in my Top Flight Cessna 182, using Hitec 645 MG servos. In addition, I have been getting my servo leads from either EBay or Amazon depending on the price. It seems that every lead, or servo plug needs to be sanded, or filed to narrow it, or corners rounded to fit the receiver. I have had trouble with every single one, but the bind plug. Is this intentional? I can't imagine that Spektrum specs are the problem, but you never know. Ant info, or tips in connecting the leads is welcome.

Steve, I don't disagree with your statement, except that I have been using the same leads in the 6 channel rx without any problems. And, I have another 8 ch rx that they fit as well. This is the first time I have encountered it.

I have heard similar complaints concerning this same Spectrum receiver. However, I bought one a few months ago from Horizon and didn't encounter this issue, so maybe they have corrected the problem in the latest batch. I am also using 645 servos.

Thanks Patrick, I hope that is the case. I have been able to get the leads all installed, but each had to be reduced in size. I also used multiple vendor types and still had problems. If what you say is correct, then I am hopeful that just the one receiver is affected. I did get the wiring completed and tested yesterday and all channels are working fine. So what mods I did do were sufficient to allow the plugs to be inserted.
