Anxiously waiting for the EXB, I know it’s a simple setup but suits me ?. Learning tons of information here.

That 15kg ADS15 analog servo might be the only weak link there.
I ate many of them quickly out the box after a few runs. Its a very slow servo at that. Broke gears and one of them fried and smoked up.
I have those gens-ace-r-spam packs.
Probably consider them one of my better packs of all that I have so far. I would say they are legit 60C packs from my experience, compared to some of my cheaper 100C packs.

EXB is still a month or so away, I just might put the ADS15 on the shelf and get something else.

Hey it makes a great backup servo. But don't rely on it to last long that's all.
I have several laying around. I have spare parts to repair them from the broken ones. (Gears) They even crap out in my Crawlers.
Edit:
I would focus on a digital 25kg( @6volt BEC) servo, the BLX ESC 6.v BEC will provide enough power for it.
Buy what your wallet permits. I feel 25kg is a minimum for any Off road 1/8 scale rig. And higher from there the better. 25kg works for most IMHO.
That ADS15 has had decent results in the Infraction and Lim. But that's on road with smaller wheels and lighter weight. Still a slow servo however.

I have two of these in other rigs. May just get another. What about Savox 1210? Any opinions out there?

I am one of the few Non Savox guys here. Yet many like them. Perhaps my opinion carries no weight?
Out of 3 I own, 2 were bad out the box. The 3rd is fine (a different model however)and Savox gave me a hard way to go, and expected me to pay for repairs, both new out of box 1210's.
I would stick to the Holmes Hobbies. That 12v servo is a monster from what I hear. But there are so many good options out there besides Savox IMHO.
Others may chime in... Its your call and your wallet in the end.
Promodeler would be my next choice in an expensive servo. I also have been using several 25 kg FanModel from Amazon In my 1/8 rigs at $34. ish.
