6 servos you need a separate bec. Castle 10amp bec's are what I use on all of my smaller planes with lots of servos. They are cheap and just work. With out it you could have symptoms like reciever rebooting, servos randomly doing crazy things, servos just not working. My seaduck with 7 servos does not work without a separate 10amp bec.After trying 6 servos to add flaps to a mustang, I got to build another plane after all the servos locked up as I hit the flap switch. I did quiz FT store about the 35 amp ESC / 3 amp BEC and the number of servos I will post there answer below, It might work, it might not.

Thank you for reaching out. I am sorry to hear you have had issues getting it to function correctly. We do recommend 4-5 servos as this was a problem that was encountered. You can do 6 but you will have to use a secondary BEC. You may need to add something like this: https://www.amainhobbies.com/castle-creations-10-amp-adjustable-bec-cse010-0004-00/p18210
It sounds like the servos are just barely wanting to pull too much power. I look forward to hearing back from you. Have a great day!

With flight test 9 gram servos you need to think 0.75amps per servo to be safe. Other brands will have power draw specs available.
