From the max torque, and unloaded speed it is possible to estimate the mechanical output power, assuming it can provide half the torque at half the speed. I calculate that as 10.6W. Assuming overall efficiency of 60%, that would be 2.4A @7.4V, and the servo would be dissipating 7W as heat. A 10cm black anodised aluminium cube has a thermal resistance to ambient in free air of 2.2 deg C/W. Comparing surface areas, I estimate the servo will have a thermal resistance of not less than 20.5 deg C/W, and it is obvious that it will burn up if operated continuously (143 deg C temperature rise @2.4A).
Limiting the current to 1.5A is *NOT* enough to prevent burnup. If its stalled, that's 11W of dissipation, and its only good for about 2.4W continuous for a 50 deg C temperature rise.
