The title says it all.
Can I put six hi-torque digital servos (hs-5945's, for example) on the rx bus? I would agree that a problem might exist if they all moved at the same time all of the time, but this isn't how a real system operates.

I have tested this in a receiver (Airtronics) with 8 amps for five minutes - the lands did not even get warm. A complete discussion including a fix for those that are still concerned is in my column in High Flight magazine, summer 2002 issue.
We hear about this, but I have never heard of anyone that actually had, or knew of anyone, that had burned the power lands!

Thanks EloyM for your reply. I knew that I had read this somewhere, but with 6 different model mags coming to the house, I never can remember where I read anything.

totally cool...(excuse the pun)
I appreciate the notes. I guess the place to worry the most about is the wire coming from and leading to the power switch.
Gracias!
