Default Y harness

What are the limits for putting servos on a Y harness? In one set up it would be two s3305 servos Y harnessed to one port. In another it would be one s3305 and one s3306 Y harnessed to one port. It is all Futaba equipment.

Thanks,
Joe

Which Y harness?... they are not all made equal and some of different wire gauge.
I generally try to go for the largest gauge and quality.

Use a good quality "Y" and you'll be fine.

Thanks. A quick reminder, this is not an open discussion forum, it is a vendor forum for direct support. Thanks

I am not a radio expert but am trying to understand. I have a few R6014FS receivers. On some of the ports the signal voltage is 2.7v as opposed to 3v on the other ports. Is there any concern about using a Y harness in a port with a 2.7v signal? Again all the equipment is Futaba. I know there are issues with some after market equipment in the lower voltage ports.


Thanks Again,
Joe

Probably not, unless you are using very long extensions with them. Then maybe, but you would know right away.
