The exception being the signal lead, which is the end pin on the positive side trio. I am going to make my own wire or just snip it on a PB jumper and I should be good to go.
Sorry to say this so drastically, but I think it's THE WORST idea to tap into the entire servo system, just because you don't like to see an additional connector or wire splice. In case of a power spike caused by a faulty gear controller, you will most likely loose control over the entire plane. If you have it conneced to one receiver battery, you still have the 2nd pack to power the servos.
Just my 2cents of course but vanity should never get in the way of safety concerns.
