A single high amperage BEC can handle multiple servos depending on brand & type.
3amp continous = one or two servos
5amp = one to three servos
7amp = one to five servos
10amp = one to seven servos

You can try a 3amp BEC on two steering servos, but it may drop out if pushed hard.
If a BEC cuts out on the ground your truck stops. If it cuts in an airplane you crash.
Winches, fans, lights, locker servos, 2 speed gearbox servos, & dig servos draw a lot less, but add up.

The red wire on the ESC needs to be lifted so the ESC doesn't get backfed from the BEC.

I have had good luck with HobbyWing & Turnigy BECs...
