What type of radio system and servos? Are these Miracles designed for the specific brand equipment your utilizng?

The connectors maybe Hitec/JR compatible. The Miracle wyes electronics or design parameters must be designed to be used with Futaba/Hitec RX equipment or whatever you specifically use. The brand to brand requirements are different when considering the use of amplified wyes or extensions. Thus your problem on 6V I suspect.

All receivers have a voltage regulator onboard to protect their ICs. The output level of the control signal going to the servo is not the same from JR to Futaba/Hitec. JR receivers output the full battery voltage on the servo signal line. Futaba/Hitec receivers output about 3.3V to the servo on the signal line. All receivers pass the full input voltage to the servo power lead.
