Guys I am building a CT4-r for some competition running and would like to get some servos for it, some high torque servos to work with my Futaba reciever.
I am on a budget

Good aftermarket servos are the Airtronics 94359 and 94360. They are high speed ball bearing full metal. Both run about $100.00 USD. Not sure if that is in your budget, but that is what I recommend for aftermarket servos.

You can also go with ebay and search some high torque/speed servos and you will find some by TowPro or TowerPro either way they are the same. I have used these in everything and they work great, plus they're metal geared, have full ball bearings, and are digital. The best part is that they only cost $12-25 plus about 10 bucks shipping and range from 150oz of torque on up to 225oz. Anyone on a budget can pick these up, I currently use the 225oz in my Savy and it has about 4 gallons on it. Not bad, the only draw back is that it will take about a week and a half to get it due to it shipping from Japan. But IMHO they are well worth the wait. I hope this helped.

im using futabas s3010 for throttle and brakes - runs around £20/$60 and protechs b515 bbmg for steering, about £30/$70. rough prices, but cheaper and just as good as other big names/big claims servos.
dont forget a nice powerful battery pack too.

Guys FYI this is for Bountys 1/10th onroad CT4. so overpowered is overkill, i just put in a JR 590MG for steering and will probably fit the JR 290 on throat/brake duty... works very well and with a .09 speed, they are quick, the 590 is also very fast and holding is great even at high speeds, i move the wheel it move that amount, after i set up the controller to be more precise in my movements..... you can get both off of the bay for probaly not much over 50 for both, add a little for shipping.
