Default steering servo recommendations

I did a search for this and couldn't find much.

I just purchased my first drift car and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations on a steering servo. Are there any servos that only fit certain cars?

Pretty much all standard size servos are interchangeable. Connectors vary a bit but you can shoehorn them all into pretty much any RX.

These are 2 of my favorites

Futaba S3003
I use them and they do the job nicely... I mean its a light weight servo but I am only drifting not using it in a Monster truck

Thanks magnat. I will be getting that Futaba S3003. You can't beat that price.

Yeah, the ones I linked to are a bit on the expensive side. The S3003 is a very popular servo, at that price you can't really go wrong with it.
