Quickie simple servo wiring question. I need to extend 3 Rx channels some distance, and space savings and number of wires is critical, so I am assuming I can group together + and - wires, and leave signal wires to do their thing? I am assuming the potential of all the positives is the same, and same with grounds.
I know that sounds silly, but if I can run two "power" wires instead of six, it will really help. And the load is nothing but LEDs, so no real draw so wire awg can remain tiny.
Thanks

I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Absolutely. Power and ground can even be remote from the receiver just share the ground wire so signal will work. That’s what we used to do with speed controls when we wanted to run external power for the servo. Just neutral and signal.
