Default Multiple servos, one channel

Hello,

I would like to know how it would be possible to opperate 4 car sized (the ones that are usually included with 2 channel surface radios) servos with a single channel on the reciever. I am assuming that it is not going to be as easy as simply purchasing 3 "Y" adaptors. I have a feeling that the power requirements of the servos is going to be to much for the reciever to handle, and cause it to release the magic smoke.

Is the solution as simple as connecting the signal wires for all of the servos to the reciever and supplying power from a seperate battery pack through the power leads?

Another question is is it possible to reverse the direction of a servo by changing the polarity of the power leads?

Thank you very much,

Greg
