I run the Hobbywing Xerun 150A ESC in both my ebuggy and etruggy with KO Propo RSX Power servos. The BEC on the ESC is only 3A and has never been an issue, even with the truggy.
I did run a capacitor when I used to run an LRP IX8 as full lock steering and full acceleration would sometimes cause the system to brown out. I have not has that issue with the Hobbywings.
