Does the servo plug have a small "wing" extending from it?

That appears to be a regular servo plug.. i can't understand how you're having a problem. And you did mean receiver in that last post, right?

First off, the servos plug into the reciever on the car, not the transmitter - which is the handheld part.
Second, a picture of one does not help much. If you could show a photo of the two plugs (large and small) togeather or a photo of the plug and the reciever you're trying to connect too so that we can see the relitive sizes, that may help.

But the simplest answer to your question is, yes, you can change the plugs out and everything should still work fine. For best results you really should solder any wiring connections and use a heat shrink tubing to seal the splice. If you search around you may also be able to find an adapter from one size to the other.

looks like a standard servo plug. if ur receiver is a micro (airtronics or JR, then u have to trim down the sides of the plug. be careful & not take too much off. sharp xacto knife should do the trick. like i said just take a little at a time. & when u go to check it make sure the plug is perfectly aligned w/ the hole. these are real tight fits
