I have searched through various forums trying to find out if there
is any information on required servo torque for 1/8 truggies. I am buying a
kit soon (haven't decided which one) and I wanted to figure what I need.

What is reasaonable amount of torque for a throttle servo?

Airtronics recommends a servo with 200 oz/in.

What is reasaonable amount of torque for a steering servo?

Airtronics recommends a servo with 85 oz/in.

Here are my thoughts. Please throw in your $.02

I would think that the steering servo needs to be stronger than the throttle servo.


Is there such a thing as too much torque? I would think excess torque might hard on the
steering components.

How important is servo speed?

Digital, while very nice, would seem to present a greater advantage for aircraft. There's a
great explanation in the aircraft forums.
