If it has the flange on the side of the plug it can be trimmed off with a Exacto knife. If its going to get run, You may want to make sure the wires are in the right order. Some early servos were wired differantly.

If it has the black black red wires it is wired wrong for futaba which is why the connector won't fit. If it is white red black your OK.

The black black red can be converted by cutting the connector to physically fit and moving the red outer wire to the middle. The black that DIDNT get moved is the white signal wire. Plug in matching it to the white wires on another channel. Usually faces the middle of the receiver
