Savox 1283 servo connectors

[TnAeroNut]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of 1283's for my EF 88 Edge. Everything about the specs / reputation looks good, but at the last minute I thought about the connector types. I've been told the splines are Futaba, but are the connectors Futaba also? I know I can mix and match (done it before), but it would be better if they are consistent with everything else.

Futaba is about the only thing that has "Futaba" connectors. All Savox have JR style standard connectors. You are correct, 25 tooth spline (Futaba style).

I use Savox with my Futaba radio with no problems whatsoever. The Futaba connector basically has a slide tab that only goes in one way - the right way. Other than that everything is the same. When use connectors other than Futaba you just need to match you signal wires and plug the in. Don't fret if you plug them in wrong you wont damage anything the servo just wont work. Flip it and you are good to go.

If you so happen to plug the servos in backwards, dont sweat it. You wont damage anything. Just remember, the darkest wire is negative andthe orange wire is signal.

Orange is not always the signal

Do you watch Big Bang Theory?



As others have said they use Futaba arms and standard connectors.
