IMO you can't have too much speed or torque.My preference is for something like the ACE 1015.
Anything except Hitec 625/645 servos,they just repeatedly fail and tend to catch fire.

I believe ACE servos are made by Thunder Tiger.They're also water and dust resistant,we seem to get a lot of wet races in the UK.
Other servos I've used and liked are the top end Sanwa/Airtronics ones.
I've got one bike with a Sanwa VX analogue servo on the steering and another bike with a Sanwa WRX digital on the throttle/brake.ACE 1015 also in the same bikes.
If you're only bashing in a car park,more or less any decent servo will do,but for racing I've noticed that a steering servo with plenty of grunt makes for a more positive steering response.
I've no experience of Traxxas servos,so can't help you there.
I think everyone has their own particular favourite brand of servo,but I've seen more people have Hitec servos fail than any other brand and personally I won't buy any more having had so many fail.

i definatley wont use hitec , i replaced the stock steering servo with a hitec and they fried for some reason and wasnt working anymore , ive got alot of traxxas cars and trucks and the traxxas servos in my opinion are NOT rubbish they work extremely well , there is two models of servos i have my eye on and they are both high torque and high speed servos
one is a blue servo thats water proof and is $30something dollars and the non waterproof is $29, i had a look at those ace servos and i can tell from the description they are the best but at $100plus i dont want to spend that much yet lol first i need to get experience in getting this thing to steer maybe i should take a lesson with that green alien from starwars and learn to use the force LOL , im just using this for general bashing not racing on a track .
