According to Tower Hobby, their System 2000 Dual-BB Giant scale ServoTS-80 comes with 2 (NOT 3 wires).They also say that the third wire is not necessary.Please, someone enlighten me as to how this works.Also, how to wire it to the battery plus the receiver for its highercurrent draw,Does one place the full voltage across it in parallel to the receiveroutput?Please unconfuse me.

I'll try ;-)That servo depends on the same electrical connections as any other: power,ground, and control signal (with the standard 1500 us neutral spec as anyother servo).That said, because the high power requirement for this servo could damagestandard receivers (which simply may not have enough metal in the power pathto the output connectors) the servo must be connected directly to a powersource (battery) as well as the receiver output. To accomplish this you attach a Y cable to the servo, with one lead going tothe receiver (for control signal and ground reference) and the other going tothe battery pack (for power and ground reference).

I sell a system that allows throttle servos to be mounted right next to ignition modules with out sending noise back to the receiver. The system includes 3 feet of fiber optic line.
