Sanwa receiver question

Post by juicedcoupe »

On early Sanwa/Airtronics receivers, can anyone confirm that the battery plug is a JST? I know that the channels are the early ATX plugs but the battery plug is clearly different.

It looks like it but I don't have any to confirm. All of their old literature just refers to it as the BEC plug. I want to use one of these on a MSC equipped car.

yes, standard red jst plug. Just remember that neutral goes to the center pin on those oldies. Red to the outside of the case.

I have some NIP Cirrus servos that are pre-wired for early Sanwa/Airtronics.

I was looking for some vintage Airtronics servos in good condition when I came across a lot of these on Ebay. I always liked Cirrus servos and they fit the vintage description that I wanted.

I also found some NIP Tower Hobbies servos with Airtronics plugs, which would have suited fine as well.
