Perhaps is was that easy, having one motor wire hitting a button. I shure hope so as that is easy to fix.
Are you sure the sensor leads (both ends) sit firmly? It may be that causing the problems. I had similar problems when the sensor wire connector at the ESC end did not sit 100 %. It looked OK but it was not.
While it is true that many modern servos draw a lot of Amps, I am yet to see one that exceeds 3 A for a standard sized servo. I have done actual measurements of current draw during use and Futaba's bigger digital servos (those aimed for 1:8 offroad) peak at about 1.5 A (when you try to steer whilst holding on to one of the front tires). The only servos I have found to exceed 3 A are digital large scale servos featuring a much bigger motors. Sanwas (Airtronics) ERG/SDX series are remarkably good in that aspect as they draw very little current compared to other makes with similar specs. Savöx have a reputation for drawing quite a lot of current, but really not more than a 3A ESC BEC should handle.
Perhaps the BEC of the Tekin is "optimistically" speced? On most receivers I have opened up, including the Futaba R603FS, all positive and negative connectors are wired in parallel (but naturally not to eachother), thus eliminating the receiver as the cutout culprit. If you want to eliminate the receiver completely, activate its fail safe settings and set it to hold the throttle input. That way it will not cause a braking effect if the receiver looses the signal and reboots.

Only follow that advice if your servo can handle 8.4 Volts! Do that with a 6.0 Volt servo and only its gearbox and casing are usable as spares...
Considering the driving style and what dodgydiy suggests, how is the slipper set? Perhaps you could try loosen it slightly.
