Default EMAXX Dual Servos or Single Servo BIG JOE TIRES

I have an EMAXX brushless with Big Joes that my servos just can't seem to keep up. I am running the Tactic TSX57 on both sides and I've never really been able to get the speed or power that I'm looking for.

Here are the servo specs:
4.8V 6.0V
Torque: 176 oz-in (12.7 kg-cm) 188 oz-in (13.5 kg-cm)
Speed: 0.23 sec/60° 0.20 sec/60°
Dimensions: 1.6 x 0.8 x1.5" (40 x 20 x 38mm)
Weight: 2.1 oz (58 g)

I'm going to be running a Mamba Monster 2 which i understand has an internal BEC?

So two questions.
1)Do I need to upgrade both servos, if so, what is the most cost effective way to go with the 3.8" tires? Or can I get away with one highly efficient servo to power it?

2) Do I still need an external BEC or will the Internal BEC of the Monster 2 be enough?

Thanks for your help!
