Need help finding the correct servo adapter

[N.Mango]

I will be using a RX that has the typical ports for servos/lights. Futaba style plugs?
I need an adapter to use the stock servo connector (sorry I don't know beans about connector types)
for the FMS Smasher servo. It's an upgraded servo but has the same type of connector as the stock servo.
It seems that most people need an adapter to go from an upgraded servo with a Futaba type connector to the stock RX
and that's the only types of adapter I have been seeing online.
Mahalo in advance! (such a noob)

Couple of pictures of the connector my servo has.

Sorry can't answer the question directly but can't you just splice the wires on a futaba plug onto the wires... keep colors correct... you know cut end off, strip wires back a bit and solder them together... that is how I'd do it.. might be "hick" but that's how i roll. Have always been function over cosmetic.
Good luck!

That was always an option. I may have to do that. Thanks!

Yeah unfortunately you will have no choice but to use JR/Futaba plugs.
JST's won't cut it.
You can either change out to the proper Rx connector, fresh pins etc, and crimp them,
Or get a JR/Futaba pig tail, cut to length as needed, and just solder the wires. Would be easier IMHO. I have done it both ways.
I do this when I shorten really long Servo wiring. I like my wire runs short. No excess. Depends on the build I am doing.
I like neat wiring.

Could this be??? Is that your XXX-T???

I treat her well. Don't worry. You took extreme care of it and was built nice. Just needed some TLC. She is a runner again. ISDT Brushed ESC. Rebuilt the Modified motor you gave me. New brushes. Cut the armature etc. Swapped out to other springs you gave me. All dialed in. Dug out these unused 30+ year old RC10T tires I had in bins.

Thanx again...for passing her onto me.

I'm stoked that she's with someone who knows whats up with the XXX-T!
Funny seeing her with my hack job on the body. hahaha

I love that body. It is so retro.
Reminds me of my track days. When I raced against XXX-T's with my 10T's.
This was no slouch. It was up there. The graphite kit was superior tech back then. It is cost prohibitive to make RC's Graphite composite these days. Very light and rigid. Drives like its on rails. I've also run it with 3s. Just that the new steel diff balls got trashed quickly. Best with 2s. The slipper clutch and transmission were never designed for 3s running. 3s lipo's wasn't even a thing back then. I may buy some Ceramic diff balls next. I drive her gently. Hard to get parts. She is vintage for sure. A cream puff.

Thats exactly what I was looking for.
I just found connectors that I forgot about in one of my parts bin so looks like I'll just change the connector.

Where you been hiding???
You show up on my YT laughing your ass off then disappear again...WTF?!?!?!

Well sh!t I ordered it anyway because the battery connector is also different. Got too pumped to order and should have done more research!
