What’s a good high torque servo for a good price. I’m using a Futaba 3004 servo for the pull-pull rudder on my .46 size Edge with a 4.8V standard battery pack. I think the rudder could use more muscle. What would be some good choices?

You also have the option of upgrading to 6V which would be a cheap boost of torque all around; assuming your other servo's can handle 6V.

I'm using s3004 servos on the rudder and elevator. Would I risk stripping gears if I went to 6 volt? I fly this plane rather hard doing aerobatics and 3d.

All I can tell you is what my experience is and I have S3004's all around on my OMP Kat 46 V2 running a Hobbico HydriMax 6.0V 1200mAh battery. I beyond beat the snot out of that plane and have never stripped a servo in flight. I've stripped several on crashes, but hey that's expected with non metal gear servos.

Hitec 635 karbonite gear would be a good choice and not that expensive. But not over 8 or 9 pounds. Also They have a quicker transit time. 6 volts will give more power and make it quicker. 3DAP
