WANTED: Source for VERY LARGE Servos
I am working on a project to put RC into a full size Go-Kart. I am looking for a servo large enough to operate the steering.
Can anyone here recommend a company that offers large servos for such applications?
Thanks.

Did you try clicking on the picture? They are made by TONEGAWA SEIKO. I originally saw them while seeking something else. I found them again by entering "28V" and "servo" into my search engine. A new search including "TONEGAWA", "SEIKO", and "servo" yeilded several good sources (including the manufacturer).

FYI - My experience with this servo
Just for those who may be interested, I purchased one of these servos and found that it worked very well.
It comes geared in a fast version rated at 13 ft/lbs. or 27 ft/lbs. at the slower gearing. I purchased the fast geared, 12V version . It arrived with a JR/Futaba type servo connector on the signal wires and a set of Red/Black power leads. Connecting the power leads to a 12V battery and the signal connector to a standard RC receiver was all that was required to make the servo operate.
The servo worked perfectly! Very fast and powerful. And this thing is built like a tank! It is metal cased and o-ring sealed. I guess this servo could be used in RC aircraft but it would have to be very large given that this servo weighs nearly 28oz. I did have to fabricate my own servo arm but that was expected.
It is going to get a lot of hard use in my application so I will see how durable it may be. Time will tell.
