My Savox doesn't draw hardly any power while idle, and I find what you claim very hard to believe. This is a very speculated problem IMO. People arbitrarily blame the servo when in fact it can be the BEC, or receiver that is the weak point. Other than myself, I have yet to see any data to back up what people (including yourself) claim is a servo issue. I am not using the same servo as he is, but am going to gather data on the same model the next time my wife drives her truck. The following is a graph of my Savox 2271SG amp draw (which I've posted a million times trying to get REAL data from anyone else blaming servos).
