1/5 noob question about hydro. brake servo wiring

Hi guys,

So I picked up a used FG complete minus the electronics. Coming from the 1/10 scale world I am accustomed to 1 servo for throttle/brake. This car has Magura hydros so I see I need three servos(1 throttle, 2 brake).

I think I figured this out. Rear brake servo with a y cable to the throttle servo and the front brake servo goes to ch3. Sound right? Here is a pic of what I am working with:

YES.
Choose your servo well - most are fast enough, but the higher the torque the better. Hitec 7955 is a big favourite.
I like Savox 1256TG slightly lower down the food chain, or Airtronics 94780M for mega torque.
Only problem with hydros - best brakes - is they will leak occasionally.

Being a basher rather than a racer, and not permitting a huge amount of 'play time' to myself, I've reverted to cable brakes, which are very good, but not really as effective as the hydro brakes.

Al.
