Futaba seems to think this discussion applies to their receivers. They don't have magic circuitry or wizard firmware. It is a matter of physics.

All receivers have a voltage where the receiver will reset. If your battery, wiring, connectors, etc. are insufficient for the power required, and the receiver is not on a separate power bus, EVERY receiver will take a nap - at similar voltages, particularly when you consider that it is probably happening on the steep end of the battery's voltage-current discharge curve.

A large number of servos, such as the number that you are using, could cause the battery voltage to drop below what the receiver requires. You would want to make sure that your servo and battery wiring could handle the current needed from the servos without giving you much voltage drop. ...
