Default RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread

Could I get some input regarding servos for the Volcano, please?

Most of the Futaba radio packages come with S3003 (standard) and/or S3010 (high torque) servos. You can get the radio with 2 of one, 2 of the other or 1 of each. Which is most appropriate for the Volcano? And if it is one of each as I suspect, which needs the high torque, steering or throttle?

Any input would be much appreciated. And thanks to all for sharing your experience. I have learned a ton.
You can never go wrong with a Higher torque servo (especially for Steering), but the Futaba 3003 is a nice improvement over the Stock Redcat servo. Its what I have in MY Volcano SV and it works fine.....

I would go with the 2 servo package and replace Both of the Stockies....
