Great! Thanks for all your help, and everyone else too.

So if you since you bought it and installed it what did you do after? Have you returned it or are you running it?

So are you still running them or did you return them? Would love to hear bach what you think if you're running them!

If it does what I think it will I plan to use it to power my 1230SG and it would go a long way toward cleaning up the wiring.

Were you able to determine how to switch between 6v and 7.4v? I'm potentially interested in this to power a waterproof EcoPower servo I just picked up. Capable of 400oz at 7.4v. My whole plan with my TRX Sport was to leave the electrics mostly stock, including Tx and Rx so I have a loaner on hand. (All my other rigs are bound to my DX4C). Having said that, the stock servo is completely anemic, so I did upgrade that and would like to maximize its potential.

The 2262 replaces the ESC's BEC and is fixed to 6V. Amperage is unknown. Circuits this size are capable of like 3A peak, but maybe someone is able to shine a light on the innards of that thing.

I still have the 2262 installed in my #4 TRX4 but it will occasionally glitch in reverse causing the steering to twitch. Generally speaking, there is no returning electrical equipment once it has been installed.

Turns out the 2262 is capable of 6v 3a only.

Sounds like it's fairly well useless then.

I installed the Traxxas BEC and put a watts meter on it with a Protek 370TBL servo. The BEC put out 6.05 volts at idle
Under full load
4.83 amps and the voltage dropped to 5.67volts

I tried the stock servo but didnt take a pic. It only used I think 1.5 amps.
