Chris, im free all damn day long you know where i live just drop by dude and you can get your sc tires then too.
i am not sure if you were being sarcastic on the solder.. but i do need a new iron.. saving up for one now!

yeah, the guy that hit me on the back straight did a number to my car.
chunked idler gear and broke my ball diff screw.
and tore half my tabs off on the 13.5
the right tab was worse with out solder on it. and the right side of the middle tab is bent up as well.

Our esc's all use a very high current switching BEC and also feature a high current receiver cable. Standard receiver cables are 30 strand count, ours are 60 strand count. In other words I think you won't get any Spektrum brown outs even with that Savox servo. I run a Spektrum servo in my 2wd, which are built by Savox, and it works flawlessly 
ill test raising the voltage up i can always add expo to the servo by my radio

The good news is you can order replacement solder tabs
Also, the load on servos remains pretty similar regardless of operating voltage because the demands to turn the wheels remain consistent. The current draw when running a higher bec voltage (say 6-6.5v) will likely be lower than when running a lower bec voltage (5.0v). Low voltage forces more of the servo watts to come from current draw, high voltage allows more of the servo watts to come from the additional voltage. Remember P=IV

Probably it is the receiver and not the servo. I have seen this pretty often lately. Now occasionally it is the servo but most of the time the receiver is just giving out. And Spektrum seem to be the worst.

the savox servos are pretty power hungry and the spektrum rx dose not like to drop voltage
having that .2oz in a cap with some wire to know that my rx will never drop out of power is a key to my mind that gives me confidence on the track.
who likes to think that this lap my electronics might fail?

Alright so i just changed the sbec voltage in the esc from 5.0v to 7.0v man that 1258 got fast.. i also have no more spektrum brown outs.. i held the car down and cranked the servo back and forth as fast as i can, and still worked flawless.
