What do I need to do?
Another BEC?
Y-harness?
im asking because they do have a voltege problem. it makes the reciver lose power.

A separate BEC should fix the low voltage issue.
Use a y-harness to plug both servos into the receiver, unless there's 2 "Ch.1" ports. Then just plug the second one into there.
If you do go with a separate BEC, be sure to de-pin the red (center) wire from the ESC's lead going into the receiver.
Something else you could try is a Spektrum "Voltage Protector" which is just a capacitor that plugs into the receiver to smooth out power drops, which may be just what is needed on that setup.

My radio has it where I can set the channel 3 to be able to copy the Fuction on channel 1.
So, that is how I am running the dual servo set-up.
I'll try that spektrum volt. If that doesn't help, I'll get a BEC.
Thanks again,
Eric
I needed to be able to use dual servo's for the large tires and wheels I got for it.

If you use stock servos you will have issues with them fighting each other (they dont centre well), has been tried a few times and not very succesfully
Why not just replace the servo with a KOPropo PDS3101, faster and more torque than stock, handles larger wheels / tires fine
Voltage cap wont help you need an external bec, dimension engineering make one that does not require you to cut the wire from the esc
