I have this information on my calculations page (in BEC & Wiring):

I hooked up a Hitec HS-5945MG steering servo (180oz-in torque and 0.13 sec speed at 6v) to a Spektrum DX3 receiver and measured the current at 6v under typical use:

The Spektrum Receiver uses 0.06A by itself with no servo attached.
The servo uses 0.014A when idle (not moving and no load).
Under typical steering conditions, the receiver and servo together drew peaks of 2.4A with an average of 0.6A.

Hope this helps to answeer your question...
