Default Another Tonegawa question

Is there anyone in the US that sells these monsters? I am definitally going to need one for my steering, and probably will sue another for the throttle and brake just to be safe. I finished a few more things on my truck, and am a bit displeased with it because I am going to be a bit over my weight mark now. Well, more than a bit. I know I have the power to drive it no problem, but steering it and stooping it are my concern, and as far as I can tell, these servos are my only hope.

EDIT: Only hope unless someone would be generous enough to help me thru designing a new pair of differentials, since I have tried once and failed miserably.

What if you got 2 FG diffs and took out the center gear and poped in a chain sprocket or even better a belt? Also looking at the pics. What if you turned your steering knuckles around and had the steerin in front of the wheels instead of behind?

To answer the first idea, I thought about it, but there are two issues, one, those diffs are relatively expensive for what I need, and two, I am pretty sure I would blow them up instantly.

For the steering, I was going to go in front, but either way it still leaves me with the same angle, except going backwards gives me more room to work with.

Ian Oddie in the UK delivers Tonegawa servo's.
He (m)oddifies them and get even higher torque out of them.
Don't know if they last long or not, but they sure aren't cheap but maybe it is an option for you.

Thats the problem, I want a US seller, the servos cost a lot already, I I don't want to pay another huge fee to ship from overseas.
