5.70v @ 0.95A
5.63v @ 1.87A
4.16v @ 2.77A

Not sure exactly what point the BEC voltage hits its max, but I would say right around 2A. As you can see, the output falls dramatically somewhere around there.
Thanks Brian,

This explains what I witnessed.

A High Torque Servo is likely to draw more amperage than this, especially when fed more than 5 volts. And especially a Pair of High Torque Servos.

Hmmm....... I thought the Internal BEC would be more beefy than this.

Is this a firmware issue? I was running version 1.2, since I read there were motor starting issues with version 1.3.
