Guys do you know where i could purchase the Y connector for the rear servo?

I heard that when you install a 2nd servo using a y connector, the servos (both hi torque) consume a lot of power sacrificing run time even if you are using lipo 7.4 5000mah?

thanks for the help in advance

Just get yourself a "servo reversing Y-harness". You can get one at almost any hobby shop for $10-$20. They are a pretty common item for the guys that fly planes.

Dual servos don't have much effect on runtime. I get 3 to 5 hours of runtime out of 2200 mAh LiPo. I have 69 turn, custom wound, old modified motor, LRP AI ESC and Futaba 3305 servo. 5000 LiPo should IMHO last anyone couple of hours, no matter how many servos they may have.

What batttery and ESC do you have?
does the higher mAh rating provide longer run time?

I get about 30-45 minutes of run time using 2/3 1200mah 6-cell split packs, and I have 4 wheel steer with HS-645's. So just imagine how long a 5000mah lipo would last? Probably longer than you could imagine. My neighbor has a small 1200 mah lipo that lasts him about 2 hours with dual servo's.
