running dual servos for steering, receiver setup questions

[njdriver04]

please bare with me, I'm new to 1/4 scale never ran dual servos for steering, I have a three channel radio and reciever, I am not sure how to use the aux input for the second servo. Could I use a y cable into one slot on the receiver?

[Diamond Dave]

Y splitter it is. I run one in my 5th scale gas truck. The Clod as well. A cap on the receiver and a BEC would not hurt either.

Getting them set up to run in unison is the only hard part.

[njdriver04]

plug the cap in the auxiliary on the reciever? running it on a 2 stroke gas engine. any tricks to get the servos working in unison

[romulus22]

Cap= capacitor.

Just use a tie rod from horn to horn and they will work together and not seperate

[njdriver04]

i will take a picture of the front end, i'm not sure I can tie them in together.

[njdriver04]

where in the circuit would the cap be most efficient?

[jwscab]

You can install it on the receiver in any unused channel or battery slot.

Now that makes sense. Why did I not know this before....

[njdriver04]

did you guys solder your own cap to a connector or did you order one?

[Lonestar]

get a rx pigtail, solder cap to pigtail, voila

there are two futaba S3305 servos on the front end for steering and a duratrax sx100 servo for the throttle and brake. Would these servos work with a JR R135 receiver and JR XR3i transmitter? I am a spring chicken with RC electronics forgive my ignorance =). These servos are analog so would I need a different receiver?

also when I plug in the battery pack to the receiver, the servos move slightly then nothing
