The carbon pots on these servos are prone to failure extremely quick and lack accurate centering. Use at your own risk.pro modeler actually lists amp draw at stall
I have the DS630 and it's awesome. I only moved to futaba because I'm running a full futaba set up
Savox are known to be power hogs

Stall current is not to be taken as the definitive hard point in which to measure servo current draw as these situations are generally not achieved even through hard bashing due to the built in give on servo saver designs. Realistically, you can expect a maximum of around 3ish amps. Servo models like the Hitec 7950TH that have been used successfully in bashers for years have a stall current of 10 amps but you will seldom see realistic current figures above 3-4 amps at the most and most modern ESC BEC's have no trouble powering this unit.Something here seems off, unloaded you would think that receiver and ESC could handle some basic movement....

Stall current at 6amps is too much for that receiver and ESC. You need an external BEC.
- Running Current (no load): 180mA @6.0V, 220mA @7.4V
- Stall Current (at locked): 6000mA @6.0V, 7400mA @7.4V
- Operating Travel: 100° (1000 → 2000 µ second)
You could retest with a proper external BEC to confirm. Servo does sound a bit raspy though.
