Default Hi Torque Servo

Question, with the Savage SS. I have the Standard 2 Channel Radio with the Servos that comes with the Radio. I know the Servo for the throttle really doesn't need to be extra strong. Now I have a problem with my Steering. I can move the Wheels manually and the Servo Horn and the Rods turn just fine, but when I try and turn them by the Radio it doesn't turn, it sounds like it wants to. So would a Hi Torque Servo cure this problem?

The Hitec HS-645MG is a good choice to upgrade your steering servo. There are other options you just need to look at the specs for torque, speed, and type of gears. The HS-645MG is a high torque application and has metal gears which last longer.

even a stock servo will turn the wheels in the air, but yes a high tork servo is prob needed, if you put the truck on the ground, and try to roll it do the wheels adventually turn? if not you may have a diff problem, but a Hitec-645MG is a good servo to start with.

Yeah, definitely make sure the batts fully charged and go with the 5 cell hump pack. I have the 200oz airtronics servo on mine and it has a tough time turning the wheels with it on the ground.
