I'm running a hs985mg in a mini ste. This isn't a high torque servo(172oz-in@6v) and without the wheels on it wouldn't be drawing many amps, but I still see voltage dropping below 4v. I had the bec output set a 6v. I'll lower it to 5.5v and then 5v to see what happens.

edit: just tried the 5.5v setting (dx3s reads 5.7v). with the truck on the floor, after turning the wheels 16 times from left to right, the bec drops below 4v once. did this twice with the exact same result. with the bec set at 6v the voltage would drop below 4v after about 5-6 turns.
