Default RE: servo voltage

ive been looking at all the schematics for that and still dont quit understand it....
it pushes the power thru the receiver to the servos?
if thats the case where would i plug it to the receiver im using a T3pm 2.4 do you know if it would go into the B/C slot. im running 2 hs 7955tg's channel 1&3 with mixing on the handle.
is another option getting a better esc that has the bec integrated into it, and if so will it push 6v out to both or just to one.
i was looking at the tekin fx pro or the mamba max .
any suggestions or input?

Yes it would go in the B/C slot or in any other available slot. Typically the BEC that is on the ECS is not adjustable nor stable. The more voltage you put into the ECS the less power goes to the RX. It is recommended the after 8.4v you will NEED and external BEC anyway. So go with the CC BEC.
