Default Wiring advise needed

I need to tidy my wiring in my wraith and need some help with it.

I'm running an Mt 4 radio and 4 channel rx, CCBec, BRXL, 7950 servo (steering), cheap hitec for dig. I also want to start fitting lights to my rig.

My install is as follows:

TH: BRXL (red wire removed)
ST: 7950
AUX1IG SERVO
AUX2: CCBec (powered from esc battery wires near plug)

Is there another way to maybe free up a port on my RX by using a Y-splitter or by rewiring the CCBec? What way should I power my lights as my CCBEC is wired at the deans and not sure if I can wire the light bar to it too...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Wire the CC BEC direct to the servo, let the ESC BEC power the RX (reinstall the red ESC to RX wire to the connector), lights & shift servo.



PS, you can use a splitter to run external BEC power to the servo. In some radios (like Spektrum) they really want all the grounds (BEC, servo & RX) to be tied together.

Thanks ill do that! Any advice on wiring the light bar? Just solder it to the deans on the esc

Another option is to use a lighting controller that uses the throttle channel with a piggyback connector so it doesn't take up a channel.

HeyOK makes several nice lighting controllers.
