Yeah you're going to need a more powerful servo to move the 2.2 tires.

300+oz suits the Wraith well, I have no problems at all. I run a 7955TG on mine with a HH BRXL on 3s. No external BEC, the internal BEC handles it just fine.

I was wondering it the bec on the HH BRXL would handle a high votage servo. You never have any brownouts? | |

If you cant afford a 100 dollar servo though, CKRCcrawlers.com they have a servo they make thats only around 20 bucks and is 200 oz. I have the HH BRXL and its runs great, and i have a external BEC just in case. Great servo for 20 bucks CKRC Special MG946R, 208oz Torque Metal Gear Servo [ckmg946R] - $18.99 : CKRC Crawlers, RC Rock Crawlers |

Well its been a day for sure lol me myself thanks Axial could try a lol harder with there tolerences. Had a few prices so far that didn't want to work right but they fit lol. Biggest issue so far is one of my driveshaft ends where the grub screw goes through at the transmission wasn't threaded at all not sure what to do about that right now. But here are some progress shots That's all for now gota take a break lol. |

Sometimes the driveshafts aren't threaded on both sides, did you flip it over and try running the pin screw in the other end?
