As I don't have much previous knowledge on this subject I have been trying to educate myself. After lots of reading up on high torque servos it seems that although most people don't have any problems at all some people suffer with brownouts and glitches etc after fitting a high torque servo, I think these problems are usually overcome with a glitch busters / rx capacitor but after seeing the results of a buggy hitting a wall at full speed due to a brownout / glitch I was trying not to leave anything to chance.
When I read about the high voltage servos which draw their current directly from a 2s battery leaving the Esc's BEC to only supply current to the rx and transponder I thought this could be the answer to any current related problems.
This all seems too good / simple to be true, am I missing something or got the wrong end of the stick?? Please feel free to correct me.
Also the Spektrum s6100 specs show an increase in torque from 15kg @ 6.0V to 26kg @ 7.4V which seems like another advantage.
Thanks again for any advice.

Just to add my own final 2-bits worth - we've been having trouble with "glitches/brown outs" since the days of the first Electronic Speed Controls, and seemingly even more nowadays with the use of highpowered Brushless motor systems - but quite literally they have all been eliminated via the application of resistors included with most brands of ESCs (that attach straight to the power leads on the esc) and in the worst of cases with an oldschool glitch buster plugged into the battery port on the Receiver.... and even fewer by those using a quality 2.4g radio system.
I honestly can't even recall the last time I saw an out of control car,
if it wasn't by a rookie driver using inferior/bone stock electronics....., and IMHO I think you're just over-thinking/over-worrying this whole thing.
