Default Servo Amp draw?

Just curious what an rough estimate is for the average amp draw for a 255oz/in steering servo would be in a Rustler that probably weighs twice as much as a normal one. Im running that and my RX and a gyro all three off of a 3A (5A max) BEC. The BEC gets very very warm but not so hot that its worried me yet. What I am worried about is it eventually failing because of high Amp draws eventually wearing it out. Should a very warm BEC worry me that I should get a bigger one or is that fine?
