To power the SC10 4x4, you can skate by with a Mamba Max Pro, but then you'll need to add an external BEC to run a GOOD servo like the S6040, Savox 1258TG, etc.
The Mamba Max Pro has a switch-mode BEC. Has it been shown to be weak or something?
I'm curious about this too. I'm running a MMP with a DS1515 servo. Not quite the same draw as the ones mentioned, but I'm adding to the strain by having it steer my Flux 2350. I can;t see these stronger servos pulling as much current in a 1/10th SC as mine does in the big monster.
