I was wondering the best steering servo for a 21 T-Maxx Conversion 80% aluminum with Big Joe's and Velocity 6 rims.
What are you people using who have a similiar set-up? Or any suggestions? I will need the model number and where to buy
I am using stock radio also.
Thanks in advance

If you want good tight steering with those big tires and that heavy truck, you will need a powerful digital servo, I would recomend the Hitec Hs5945 (.13sec & 183oz of torque @ 6volts) this servo has tons of holding power too, something like 300oz.
You can pick 1 up on ebay for about $85 shipped, or you can pick 1 up here for $89.99 + shipping. One of the best things about this servo is not only is it strong, fast and has all metal gear terrain, but its completely sealed from the eliments with 7 rubber seals.

You will need to upgrade that flimsy little white plastic servo saver that comes stock in the kit! I was checking out Unlimited Engineering's stage 4 servo saver, which sells for just under $100, but really the Proline has all the same features as the stage4, except the arms are not alum alloy.....everything else on the Proline is adonized blue which looks great, and of course it is all ball-bearing action!
Just my recommendation, this coming from someone that uses this setup, and has great results!
