Default Futaba receiver 2.4

I was given a 6303 Futaba receiver, the receiver binds but when you plug in servo's they don't work. Is receiver bad or am I doing something wrong

Thanks Bob

Make sure you do not have the servos plugged in upside down as well as the above.

Default R608fs

I have this receiver and it lights up red when plugged to battery, but receiver will not bind. When you push the easy link light blinks but never goes to green, is there a answer to this or is it bad

Thanks bob

Well, the term "Cap" is normally associated with an older air transmitter. There are two 7C radios, one is 72 MHz, the other is 2.4 GHz, which one do you have?

Bob62.... When you do the bind, make SURE that your receiver is within six inches of the transmitter. Mine won't bind when a foot away. I have 4 receivers and they all behave this way during the bind. Flawless links once established.

Okay, now I'm confuzzled.....

In your first post you said the rx would bind but no servo movement, now you're saying it won't bind, what changed? That rx is compatible with your 7C 2.4GHz radio so it should bind. You might try @thailazer's suggestion of keeping the tx closer to the rx when trying to bind. No florescent lights in the room either.

I made two post, the first was the servo wood not move, problem solved servo plugged in wrong
The second post pertains to the receiver won't bine. I went on Futaba web site and it states that this receiver is not compatible with the cap 7 not the 10 transmitter

I guess I still do not understand; if you had it working by changing the servo lead orientation as I suggested in post #3, it would not have worked if the rx was not bound. What changed?

You're getting confused again. The original 10 series radios work just fine with that rx, the new 10 channel tx's, a 10J I believe, is a T-FHSS format. That rx you have, your radio and the original 10C radios are FASST format.

We or talking about two different receivers, the first was a 6303 and the second was a 608. The problem with the 6303 was my fault, had servo plugged in wrong, the problem with the 608 is it just want bind. I have it right next to the transmitter and it does nothing

If you are trying to bind an R6008 to your 7C it isn't gonna work. The R6008 requires Fasst Multimode, which your radio doesn't provide.
