Nice find. I’d be curious to see what the 2255 would do @ 7.4v

The idea of spending anything more than $50 dollars for electronics with a traxxas label on it is not appealing however.

Thankfully for Traxxas there are plenty of people with more money than the desire to learn about electronics.

Based on my experience with Traxxas servos this will not be appearing in a shopping cart of mine.

But it would have been pretty cool if the trx4 came with this in RTR box.

They look like PowerHD servos, just rebranded/renamed

Lots of people buy from their hobby shop and at least this way they will now have high torque servo options at hobby shops that only carry Traxxas products.

It's nice to see Traxxas coming out with servos, but if the rumored $150 price is correct, I don't see many of these selling, when you can get better servos for less than half that price.

I've had decent luck with PowerHD servos, but they aren't great and it would be a shame if Traxxas used them as an OEM.

New Traxxas trade in program:

Trade all your stock TRX4 electronics for 1 good servo.

Seems more than fair to me.

I am interested in learning more about the included BEC, traxxas 2262.

Looks to be plug and play, wonder if it’s switchable and can do better than 7.4v.

Definitely looks plug and play! Great for newbies. If only they had included it in the ESC like they should have.
