Default Maxx Servo Help

I'm going to be getting a servo for my emaxx soon and it's rating is about 225 oz/in. of torque. I plan on using just this one servo to turn the truck, as I think it will be plenty enough power. If I am wrong here, please correct me. Anyway, to move on to my actual concern...when I put it in should Ijust disconnect the mounts/where the other servo would attach?
Thanks for all help in advance.

225 is plenty of power to move the wheels, but I agree check out that savox servo, its amazing, its super fast, and powerful, I personally think they underrate the speed/power of them, cause its tons faster than my Hitec 5645mg

Hell use two of them Savox's, that's the way to go, You could turn a 64 f250 with two of those (Yes Ive actually driven a 64 f250, my buddy owns it)

That's what I would do, Like I said, Im sure 1 will work, it whips my tires around just fine, but I like to do things in excess, So I would use 2, Ive actually been debating modding my Tmaxx CHassis chassis and installing a second steering servo, I may do that in the future, First I want  to pick up a Picco .26 Red dot for my Tmaxx, Or I may even convert it over to brush-less, I haven't decided what I want to do, I know I wants more power though
