Servos with 5 wires instead of 3 are basically 'circuit-less' servos. They don't have any of the circuitry inside of them. Instead, the 2 extra wires connect to (presumably) a receiver which has the servo's electronics on it. So in short I dont know of anyway to make that work short of replacing the all in one receiver/ESC with separate components. and a new 3 wire servo. Maybe someone else will know a way but I'm pretty sure it isnt possible.

I couldn't. Tryed hoped it would. It is a wl toys trophy trucks controller that I was hopeing to reuse but the servo was junk. Oh well thanks everybody I was not shure I know there was a way to convert a servo from a 5 to a 3 wire I dident know if this was possible or not.
