I like he powe ring idea as preented. It was commented that possibly connecting the ring directly to the battery a=ather than going thru the receiver. I would extend a word of caution here. First, if the receeiver is operating on 5V, then you would neeed to connect to the receiver power supply, be it a BEVR or 5 volt battery. If the receeiver, as some now are capable of, is able to operate off 12v, then great, but you should make sure thta whatever is drawing power from the ring is capable of thata voltage as well. Most electronic switches , for instance, opertae off reveiver voltage, ie 5v.I ddo like the approach though and I may use it on my upcoming project, now that I have bought 40 meters of servo wire, LOL.

Replying to the original post, I have used this to allow for the connection of 4 servos in one plug. The two outer connectors are used for power and the inners for servo signals. This has been used for the connections to the wings on aircraft and has worked well, normally with mini or micro servos. I have used this with one large model using high power servos without any problems although I did double up on the power leads to the connector. I generally use the thicker servo wires to allow for higher currents.
