Default Question about number of servos

My Jeti 18 ESC instructions say you can only use three servos when using three cell Li-Po's. Two servos if they are budget micros. How do all of you get around this if you need four? I am currently using three on my 25oz home built plane with only one of them working the ailerons. I am using Hitec HS-55 servos. There seems to be slow response and I was hoping using two would help.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

From my experieces, escs capacity ratings tend to be conservative so alot of times you can get away with one more servo, but if you do this you should be running the most efficient servos possible and make sure your endpoints are set and all linkages are free of any binding. If you want to be safe you will have to either upgrade to an esc with a higher bec rating or run an UltimateBec www.hobby-lobby.com/ubec.htm
