Servo Upgrade

[SixVi6-Camaro]

Here is the ting though Steering systems have servo savers... Turn your truck full lock on the controller, grab the tire with you hand and jam it the opposite direction. the servo arm won't move weather its an 85 oz or 300oz servo. Even a way tight servo saver will give before a servo looses its hold. in a rutted high speed turn the servo saver will give well before the servo does anyhitng.

imo.. The only thing a 200oz servo does is give you the ability to put a truck on the pavement sitting still and brag that you can turn the wheels full lock and give you a 1/2 hour runtime before you will need a charge. I run ancient 1100 mah packs and have never had a problem with my RX pack dieing and I'll get out and run my landmax for a couple hours in parking lots before it shows any signs of slowing.

how about this... I run $10 Ball bearing futaba servos in throttle and brake too! ~40oz of torque has always been plenty to open the throttle and lock the brakes, even in my big heavy JT. Its all about how you setup the linkages and where you attach them on the servo arm.

I have run faster higher torque servos on both throttle/brake and steering of my Rc's.. I either didn't see a good difference or didn't like the poor runtime, poor reliability (especially t/b servos that get contant loads and overheat quick) and Cost of running expensive servos.
