I just bought a new 2.4 GHz controller that came with a receiver, the problem is when i go to connect my servos into the recever some of them plug in and others do not, and i cant connect the battery! what am i supposed to do? am i missing something?

You can plug in your battery into any unused servo connector on the RX.
From your picture I can't see any reason why you can't plug in your old servos cause there is nothing in the way of this. Watch the polarity when you do plug a servo or battery in.

what do your servo connection wires look like??? what type of servos? if they have pins coming out of them they could be the old style from the 80's and not the new j connectors

Trim the little plastice ridge off the edge of the servo and battery plug and they should slide in.

some servos like futaba servos have keyways on them and have to be filed off fore them to be inserted

thats correct u have to file or cut the little taps off of futaba to fit in spektrum recievers

Yes sir I noticed in the picture that you have Futaba connector...as said cut the little plastic key way off...and you do need to watch the polarity

+1 more, that is a Futaba end you are showing. One of Futabas bright ideas so people would buy there RXs. One of the reasons I use Hites, a very small reason but one of them anyway. Just cut it off or file it down and it will work just fine.
I'm a Futaba guy {Radios} but I wonder why Futaba hasn't wised up and gone with the flow?? Maybe they had 10 million of them made years ago and are just waiting until they run out before they change??

Yep that was the problem i had to trim the plastic on the connectors,

Thanks guys!

I think futaba put them on so that you couldn't plug them in the wrong way. the idiot approach some people would never get it right
