The 3.3 maxx has dual servos for steering? Didn't realize that...

I have a t-maxx 3.3 with a single steering servo. I would like to add the convience of two steering servos. Now before i go buy the thing i need i would like to know on the proper wiring the two together.
It depends on how the servos are oriented in relationship to one another and the linkage. If they are mounted side by side (like the losi muggy) and move the same in relationship to the servo, then you need a straight Y connector. If you have them opposing each other (like the LST), then you need a crossed Y connector.
However, for the life of me, I can't find a connector that says anything useful one way or the other on it. They are easy enough to change, I believe you just flip the +/- and leave the signal wire where it is if you need to make a crossed one.

OKay makes a lot of sense. They are side by side so they both are going to be moving into the same direction. Aha a Y connector would then do the trick. Thanks a lot.
You may want to seek out a heavy duty version so it can run enough juice to two servos.

They run a little heavier wire than normal so more juice can be supplied.

Well there is no problem i just thought i ask what exactly i need to fit my 3.3 maxx with dual steering servos. as far as i know I'm planning on getting Yconnector to connect two servos together so they operate the same time. I havent done it yet.
