RE: stearing servos
Yes it will work on your OFNA and yes it should last way more than a month. Use the rubber grommets that come with the servo. They help reduce vibration.

RE: stearing servos
I'll probably get bagged for sure here but..... If you are on a budget the tower pro MG995 servos are a bargain for around $10-$15 on ebay. High torque and metal gear and they have a futaba spline if you want to run an alloy servo arm. Some people will bag them but i'm had 2 in my sacker that I use for bashing for about the last 3 months and haven't had any dramas with either of them. Personally I only ever use JR radio gear in my race rig, but the tower pros have seemed reliable so far so i would consider using them if I was in a pinch.

RE: stearing servos
I had a few of them that I got in a trade. I have one on my 8ight due to messing up a good throttle servo. Works good but not for sure how it would hang doin steering

Dont worry, your OFNA will work fine. I am pretty sure you have a Hitec style plug on the receiver.

RE: stearing servos
a better option is to look on ebay. you can get a lightly used airtronics 94358 servo (of the 360 series, etc) for about $45, and they have 200oz/in and .10 sec/60 degrees at 6 volts. you wont find better stats for the money, and they are very good, tough servoes.

RE: stearing servos
Personally, I would spend an extra $25 and pick up an ACE DS1313. i run them on the front end of my truggy and I love it. Quick enough to get you thrown into the corners hard, and strong enough to even throw the heavy truggy stuff over. Seriously, its sweet.

RE: stearing servos
i didn't see any specs for that servo. I know people will disagree, but I would suggest the airtronics over the hitec 645 anyday. its stronger and faster and relatively cheap on ebay.
