| AE-2 and hi-torque servo
I had an issue with the stock servo on my Wraith (broke it.....lol) so I replaced it with a Blue Bird BMS-630MG servo I had. Will running this servo cause any problems with the stock ESC/BEC? Thanks |

A ~200oz servo will most likely need a stand alone BEC.

The stock ESC has a 5v BEC so the servo is only capable of about 185oz/inch. Is this still considered too close to the max? Anyone have a recommendation for a decent steering servo? |

Try it out, see what you think. It may work fine for your normal rig use, so be it. | |

AE-2 spec is 5v and 2.0amp peak..... I don't mind using the proper BEC or a smaller servo, just want to make sure what I do do is best for my Wraith. |

What indications would I have if this setup is causing problems..........heat, glitching, short battery run time (2S-5000mah 40C lipo)? I ask because I am not familiar enough with the car to know if something is creating a problem or not.

I like the specs of the BR-XL. Would this be an easy "plug and play" install on the Wraith?

Yes the brxl should be mostly plug and play, it mainly just needs a battery connector soldered on Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

What most people see is the steering becomes unresponsive or the truck acts like it loses power until the load is gone. You can't go wrong with a Hitec but there are other good servos out there too. |

I ran a Hitec 5955 with the AE-2 for a few packs while I was waiting for my CC BEC and it was ok. Seemed a little slow and weak. When I added the BEC, I set voltage to 7v and the servo came to life. I think the 5955 is around 400oz at 7v though. It's enough to flop the Wraith over when the front tire is stuck in a hole |
