No one really cares about deadband in 1/8 offroad. Sounds to me like this guy wants something that will last a while.
Mrfranchize02,
You've hit the nail on the head, durability and long service life are key issues for me. I'll be running the buggy on both dirt and grass, so I'm willing to give up a bit of fine servo control if it pays dividends in long-term durability. Do you think the Airtronics servos I'm considering, 94360Z throttle/brake and 94359Z steering, will fit the bill? Thanks.
Those 2 servos are perfect. You cannot have too much torque for steering. Remember, a 200oz servo can take a better bashing plus you can tighten the servo saver with a higher torque servo allowing for better fine control.

I have and probably will never get a hiTec there are simply to many problems with them from what i heard and read. it is the luck of the batch with those.
The Airtronics, you do not get those complaints. You do get what what you paid for. Also, look at rc-mushroom i believe they sell those 2 cheaper than most places under the brand Sanwa/airtronics
