If you are out of ports on your receiver it is fine to plug them in via a Y harness with your servos. In most 1/10th scale setups you will not be near the limit of the plug, and you could plug the second one into a set of LED lights or some other accessory.

Thanks for that. I just got one today and was confused why there was 2 RX wires. RX Ports are valuable on scale trucks.

I use a Futaba S Bus terminal box as a distribution block for winch ind lights. S one port into the RX & the other into the box.

Now to throw a wrench into this....I'm using a Holmes Hobbies bypass harness. I need 8.4v going to my steering servo and the MMP is providing 6.0v to the receiver for the shifting and differential micro servos (TRX4). By plugging this second 3-wire connector from the CC BEC 2.0 WP into a receiver port, is this connection introducing 8.4v into the receiver?

yes. then u power your rx with 6.0v from the esc and 8.4v from the bec.

the three wire is a second power output and to connect castle link.

Right, both output wires of the BEC are same output voltage. If you plug one into the receiver, you'd power the receiver to 8.4v. So you'd need to keep one output plugged into the HH bypass and then allow the ESC's internal BEC power the shift servos.
