Default servo plug?

Anyone have any advice on how to replace a servo plug?

If you're good soldering and have a thin type tip, you can take a servo ext of the length you need and replace it on the board. There are other ways to do it though, you can splice added length using servo extension again, just splice where so the joints are staggered and used shrink. Last one I can think of is to replace the plug if you have enough lead left, but this requires the right tools and ends.

+1...There are terminal tools and ends you can get at hobby shops or online. It would be more cost effective if you can solder as stated above.
