I'd wait to see if Randy comes back in here before guessing on which way they go. He might throw you a bone and give you the order.

Here is a pic:



You can follow the (dusty) wires and see from left to right it is white, red, black. Also, the switch is the two spots next to the receiver wires.

I shortened the receiver wire on my RX8. With decent soldering skills and a fine tipped iron, it is not difficult. just make sure there is no solder across the different points.

Hard to tell by the pic are u saying the first three on the left are the receiver. Or the last three? And the switch wires which order are they?

Yeah the trick is not too much heat, but just enough along with a small tip.

Again I'd be VERY Careful powering it up for the first time. Sketchy that they're removed in the first place.
