What model of Futabas? The receiver doesn’t really power the servos, what kind of receiver battery (I assume from your sig), age/condition? Using a regulator? If you are having power issues the big Hitecs have some of the highest power requirements. How are you setting the endpoints?

end points are always good. and a receiver does power a servo basicly in nitro. battery goes into receiver (6 volt hump dont run lipo) servo get fed from the receiver #1(steering) works but #2 throotle it barly wants to move its not getting the juice and #3 transponder i dont know didnt even look.

What rx are you running?? What servos are you using?? Just because the servo isn't working right means that the rx isn't working.

Sometimes rcvrs get dirt or silt in them and they get shorted or partially shorted from debris in the bottom of the case. Good cleaning and some contact cleaner and they're usually good again.

Are you running analog servos on HSR mode? That will kill servos. Although from your other post it sounds like you have a volatge issue. I thought the RX battery +/- were all connected directly. You may have a damaged pin connection.
