Add a bec to your budget, this will allow you to take the esc power out of the picture. Giving you a more reliable power source for the servo. Any servo will then be able to be used.

X2. Your ESC only has a 2A internal BEC, which isn't much. You probably couldn't do much more than the 151-oz Tactic servo that comes with the new Spawn version without frying the ESC and/or servo, and that's not much more than what you already have (130 oz in the AS-2 that comes with the Wraith RTR). To see a real difference with the combination of wide axles and tall 2.2 wheels, you'll really want to be in the 300 oz or greater range, and you'll need a BEC to power that. Once you get the BEC, you'll have lots of good servo options.

While they make some great servos, I have found them to be some of the most power hungry. Like stated, grab a BEC and not worry about it. Or get HV servos and run right off a 2s batt.
