Are you needing to plug your servo into your receiver or ESC? In some applications, servos can receive power directly from the ESC/speed controller. However in most applications the servo will need to be plugged into some type of receiver so that it can be operated by the radio. Assuming you just need to plug into the radio receiver, here are you options...

- Move the receiver. This may not be possible but it may be the simplest option.
- Purchase a servo wire extension. This is probably the easiest option and is common practice in all forms of this hobby. Extensions come in various lengths, are inexpensive, and can be purchased online from retailers such as Amazon if you are unable to travel right now. If you use this option, it is a good idea to secure the extension together with tape.
- Splice in a wire extension. This will require a soldering iron/skills, solder, flux, and access to heat shrink/wire insulation for best results. A quick youtube search on splicing a servo wire should yield some good videos.
- Replace the entire servo cable with a new & longer wire. There is a thread here on RCTECH.net dedicated to clean wiring installs. Many of the individuals there will modify their existing servo wires by replacing the stock wiring with a color of their own choice or modify the length to their exact needs.

- Replace the servo with one with a longer wire. Not all servos come with the same length wire. When purchasing servos, the specs should include the length of the wiring.

There is nothing wrong with splicing in wire. I would just make sure to use the same gauge wire and specs. However, if you are in a pinch or have an immediate need sometimes you just got to make it work. If you do go the splice method, make sure you have a good set of cable strippers as servo wires are small and it can be difficult to expose the wire using a single bladed knife. Also be aware that most servo wire is braided wire, so be careful when twisting or splicing 2 wires together.

One last thing to consider. Take some time to research online the different ways to splice wire together. Simply twisting wire together isn't always the best or strongest way to join 2 wires. Also remember that any join or splice is a potential failure point, so make sure to properly protect this area. Also consider that splicing can potentially degrade the signal going from the receiving device to the servo.

Good luck, and I hope this info helps.
