Status: offline 		Hey guys. I just recently bought a Cen Genesis .46 LE used here on RCU. It's to my understanding that the stock steering servo is fairly underpowered. I think the specs say it's somewhere around the 144oz range. That seems like a pretty good amount of torque to me, but from what I've read in the reviews, the huge tires on this truck are still almost too much for the servo. So, I've been looking at several online hobby shops, and haven't found any servos that are much higer in torque. So, can anyone give me any suggestions on some high torque servos that would be over the 200oz range? Thanks.

Let me warn you, these servos are not cheap. I think around $150-200USD for these (I do not know their exact current selling prices)

Some other high torque servos are Hitecs 5995, 5955, & 7955 servos, all producing 333in-ozf torque, and these gravitate around $100 each.
