Damn, I didn't even think about installing a buck converter per each servo. It's so much better idea, because it is so much easier to find smaller and cheaper buck converters.In fact though I'd use a smaller buck convertor one per servo to take 12V in and give just the current for one servo. The wiring won't need to be so thick then.
If my servo has a stall torque of 3.4A@8.4V, do you think this buck converter1 (link below) is a good fit ? It says that output voltage is regulated between 1.3V-35V. But it is giving an output of 5A. Isn't it too much ? Won't it hurt the servo ? Or servo simply takes as much as it needs (which in most cases is going to be about 1A) and nothing more, so 5A shouldn't fry the servo ?

There are also other buck converters which provide regulated voltage of 3.2V-35V and output amperage of 3A.
Is it better to choose a buck converter with less (3.2V-35V + 3A) or more (1.3V-36V + 5A) amperage in case of my servos (max possible amperage is 8.4V and 3.4A, but will use around 1A in most cases) ?
