Whats the maximum items you can run from a receiver

Whats the maximum items you can run from a receiver.....:wtf:


Ok in my brushless 8th (which is ace by the way) , I have a spektrum receiver with 4 inlets, in it i have :

Batt: PT and a UBEC
STR: Steering servo and a powercap
THR: Speedo and 2 x 12.5mm fans
AUX: 35mm fan
And al run perfectly... do i have some sort of super receiver ?
(Using Y leads to accommodate everything)

Also the car runs perfectly well with or without a powercap.. its running much more current and voltage than the 10th but the Pcap is an essential in that, anyone care to enlighten me why its ok in thre eighth?

Thanks

I'm guessing that with a 4s LiPo and an UBEC, even under load there's always plenty of power for the UBEC to be able to provide 6V to everything. The receivers not really running anything, the current's just passing through connectors / PCB, or not even that where a Y harness is used.

In 1/10th with only 7.2V or a 2s LiPo, there is much less margin for momentary drops by the BEC below 6V, hence the need for the power cap.
