Steering Servo?
 
I have a Nitro Rustler with a Fantom .12 engine and an Assiciated low end pipe. What steering servo should I get? A guy at my local track showed me how fast his servo was and it was insane! He said that a good, fast, strong steering servo makes all the difference, even if it's a Rustler. By the way, I have a JR XR3 radio with the stock Traxxas 2055 high torque servo for the steering.

It doesnt have to be that fast. Just make sure that its a metal gear servo so that if you ever reun into anything your servo gears wont strip.

Fast and strong are good to have
How much money are you willing to spend?

i have a jr 590 would work great w/ your reciever, metal gears and the whole 9. I like it, i run mashers sometimes, and it hasnt stripped, (knock on wood) lol I would probably replace it w/ a nother 590 if it goes.

Remember the hump-pack battery has much more current available than throw-away batteries so simply changing it is going to make a difference. Coupled with a hi-torq servo like the Hi-tec 645 these make for a great steering setup.

Yo, if it aint metal gear, it aint right!!! 50 bucks, and it'll be the last steering servo you'll have to buy. Just make sure you put a servo saver on that ****!

I want to go all out, but not all out to a $130 digital servo with 220 lbs/in of torque and a speed of .08 sec/60* (even though that would be bad A*S). That $85 servo is as high as I'm going. I want a lot of torque and a lot of speed, but for as cheap as possible, which is going to be about $85 for my specifications.

RE: Steering Servo?
 
that is a really nice servo, all metal, freakin torque. I would like that although it would be overkill lol. Nice though.

but i still recommend the z590 but if your looking for digital.. hmmm. i dunno then. I have yet to get that high end. lol
