How much speed and torque for servo?
 
Does anyone have a guideline or feeling for these numbers for racing buggies?

What is an adequate steering servo for racing? like 0.15/200oz/in.? is 0.15/333oz/in. total overkill?

What is an adequate throttle/brake servo? like 0.10/130oz/in.?

I actually have a Hitec 625MG on my 8ight 1.0 throttle servo. it has lasted longer than any other servo ive had. I burnt out my Airtronics 94357 twice, and not yet with my cheapo servo. IMO you only need around 100oz of torqur for throttle. Faster is better for midair adjustments. For steering, 150+ .15- is fine for my application.

i couldnt use a steering servo with 0.10 speed, would be way to twitchy for me. i like what i have, 0.13 with 172oz torque
