Default Can I use a JR romote extension instead of Spektrum?

I have a Spektrum remote receiver with a 6 inch extension, but need to use a 9 inch now. My local hobby shop only has a 9 inch JR extension. Are they the same? Can I use the JR extension?

Spektrum offers up to 36" remote extensions. Although JR DSM2/DSMX receivers use Spektrum technology, I don't recall ever seeing JR brand remote extensions in my LHS. I do not know if the new JR DMSS receivers have remotes, and if so, whether they use the same connectors.

Ya, I called my LHS and he told me he only has JR extensions in the 9 inch size. It's for a Spektrum AR7010 receiver.

G'day Mate
JR & Spektrum are identical, compare them & you will see, 3 wires, same connectors, simple as that.
They are only extensions, no electronics.

JR makes servo extentions with JR type connectors.


A 9" JR extention is not necessarily the same as a 9" remote Rxer extention.If you want a 9" remote Rxer extention, you are looking for a<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">SPM9011</span>

He specified remote receiver extensions, not servo extensions, either way, JR & Spektrum servo extensions, are compatable, & JR & Spektrum remote RX extensions are compatable.
None of them have any electronics, they are only extensions.
