Servos - can you interchange with all
Can all servos, Futaba, JR, Hitec & Airtronics all be used interchangeable with the Airtronics Z receivers? I understand that JR is reversed polarity? Thanks Richard

RE: Servos - can you interchange with all
The only servos that had the plugs reversed were the older Airtronics, all the others had the center wire (+) and the outside wires were (-) and (signal); the (-) negative lead was normally colored black, the (+) was red and the signal wire could be any color, usually yellow or white. As long as the polarity on the plug matches the polarity of the receiver connectors, all brands of servos seem to work with all brands of receivers. The plugs may not physically mate, i.e. you may have to shave off some plastic keys to allow them to plug into the receiver if they are different brands.
