Default Will I burn out my rx?

will running a 7990th off the rx with the ccbec plugged into it burn up the rx? It's a spectrum 4100 rx. I'm worried about pulling that many amps through the rx.

Running through the BEC eliminates the current going through the RX. Only the signal is going through the RX.

Receivers can handle plenty of amps. Spektrum is the only one I found spec for in the past and they are rated for something like 30 amps.

If you wire your BEC like I show in this link, you will eliminate any risk the the traces in the receiver. I don't believe there is much risk though.
Also, if you decide to run more voltage to your steering servo, this is a good way of doing it because it doesn't over volt anything else:

Yes, another one: BEC to HV Servo Wiring
