Why 5 wires for some servos and 3 for others? I want to use my PZ P-51 ESC (SR-327LT, PKZ1554) in Cermark Phoenix but the it has 3 wire servos. Can it work? I also want to use a power switch but where does it connect? The PKZ1554 has a 4 pin conn on top, it that for the power switch?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Industry standard servos have three wires. Any other number of wires is a proprietary system, where the components are not standard and therefore not interchangeable with industry standard components.
