A high-torque servo for the steering is a must .
Besides a much more precise steering without having to rock the truck forth and back ,
you can then also skip the sloppy servo-savers and use a very direct setup .
the Hitec’s is a good choice , since they are also considerable cheap .
You don’t have to go even bigger , like the much more expensive digital servos ,
( except you build some sort of a monster-truck , all a matter of tire-size and weight you have on the steerable axle )
A standard servo for steering is a no-no for me .
Shifting and accessories , well , for that you can use standard servos ,
but even here I prefer better when standard quality servos .

Default Re: servoes

I'll echo others with liking the hitec servos. I also like the programmability of their digital servos. You can slow them down without buying add'l electronics. Good for making the look of slower hydraulic function.
