I've also heard that turnigy BEC is really only good for 3A continuous and 5A bust as well so it may not save me much anyway.

since i'm sticking to 2S lipo, connecting the Rx directly sounds like a good idea, but I'm guessing that I can only do that with a high voltage servo, or with a reducer correct?
