I also noticed a little bit stronger hill hold when I got rid of my Titan (well, it got rid of itself by blowing up) and got the HH Trailmaster Sport 550 21T in there. No doubt though with the 1080 you can dial it from 0-9 strength so it should be a big improvement. | |

The HW Quicrun WP1080 will work with your current servo and the 2262 BEC. The 1080 comes equipped with an XT60 battery plug and presumably you are still running the Traxxas battery connector so you will need an adapter to go from the Traxxas to the XT60 and that adapter will also need a JST tap to power your BEC. You will also need to solder on a pair of 4mm plugs for the motor leads. Once installed there is a simple calibration proceedure for the new ESC and then you can set up the 1080 with the included programming card. Once you have everything set you will find the WP1080 is a much better ESC than the stock XL5.

Can we back up for a minute? What's your gearing? If you run lower gearing, your drag brake will hold better as the motor will have more mechanical advantage over the wheels. Of course, that means that higher gearing won't hold as well. If you can afford to lose a bit of top speed, I'd drop your gearing down a bit and see if you get the braking/holding power you're looking for.
