I know there are several of you out there. Are any of you doing the dedicated battery that John so adamantly preaches? If so could you please show me your setup.

I use an external battery on my Xmaxx with the promodeler DS1155BLHV. Great servo, and it works wonderfully with the external battery and turns the heck out of those big tires. If the tires are blocked it will twist the crap out of the servo saver before it will stall.
BUT... honestly he bullied me into the external battery over the phone. It is a pain in the ass to remember to charge and such. With a stall current of 7A the MMX8s should handle it. Next time i go into the receiver box i am going to remove the splitter and reconnect the servo to the BEC power at 8V and see what happens.
As I mentioned I have three maybe four hooked directly to rx And they have been working fine so far. For example here’s one in my Tekno Truggy.I use an external battery on my Xmaxx with the promodeler DS1155BLHV.

Spoke with someone there quite a while back. I actually had a Promod servo in my cart at the time. I never pulled the plug however. They are in FL. Maybe it was John I spoke with too. And I was put off by him? I did ask many tech questions about the components they use, not about their application...He tried to get me over the phone like that too, but I just said I wanted to try it and acted like I was super busy and couldn’t talk long. Persuasive son of a gun.
The 1155 series is a different animal than the 630 series. At 5A max stall current I would feel more comfortable powering a 630 from a MMX8s.As I mentioned I have three maybe four hooked directly to rx And they have been working fine so far.
