I’m new to this RC Crawler world and I currently bought a Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix Portal. I know that it takes 3 Servos. I kind of know what to buy but I’m unaware on how to connect them once I receive them. I want a Hobbywing 2300K QuicRun 2 in 1. What do I need to connect the 3 Servos if anyone can help me I will be really grateful!

You will connect the servos to the receiver. So you will need a receiver with a minimum of 4 channels and transmitter that works with it that also has at least 4 channels.
Ch1. Steering
Ch2. Esc/motor
Then your choice of hooking the dig and overdrive servos to ch 3, 4, etc
You can use transmitter and receiver with more then 4 channels, just not less. Then you'd have the choice of additional channels which are then controlled by different switches on the transmitter.
You could also run lights or other add ons off additional channels of the receiver. Just remember you have to be able to power it all which is a different conversation.

Do you have the ready to run version or was yours a kit? The rtr comes with a 4 channel radio setup so you shouldn't need receiver.
If you bought a kit, you need a transmitter and receiver.
Something very important about servos, especially on dig and selectable overdrive, is to get endpoints set properly. The servos will burn up quick if the endpoints are wrong.
I bought the kit not the RTR. I’m planning to get a Flysky FS-GT5 as it has 6 channels and its pretty easy to set endpoints or at least that’s what I read about it.
