Some sites have warning when purchasing some servos (specifically Savox):

*NOTE: Certain combinations of receiver and ESC have been found to cause "Brown Out" issues when combined with Savox servos. An external BEC, or BEC stabilizing receiver capacitor may be needed for efficient, glitch free operation in low voltage electric applications.


So yes, if your ESC has a BEC of less than 5A and you are using a known high draw servo, you'll want to use an external BEC or something similar.
