Yes this has been done before, by me, but interested in what the best options are for 8th buggy steering servo. I am looking for something with enough torque and the best possible speed!?

I use the Savox 1258tg. Has 12kg of torque and speed is 0.08. And is normally around £45 so good value also.

Hitec 7945TH are what Jon Hazelwood uses in his Agama and really rates them, a few of the other Agama drivers have followed and love them too.

That said someone else I know had problems with them, not just once either so has gone to a helicopter servo MKS DS670.

The Ace DS1015 ( also rebadged as Associated XP DS1015 ) are good.

Futaba have been used by nearly everyone who competes at a serious level but sorry I don't have any numbers for those. I've got some BLS351 's but I don't know if these have been replaced by a new model ?

Sanwa and KO are meant to be good as well but again I can't supply you with any info on them, sorry.

Depending on your budget but to be honest i recommend any of the following both good reliable servos does exactly what it says on the tin

The XP pulls and turns a tank as used to run these in my truggy and cannot fualt it for power and steering response i have now got the xp in my buggy and the steering rate has had to be turned down alot as to fast;

If you wish to spend a bit more then you could go for this baby;

Very good servo and built for quality but a tad expensive but depends on what each driver wants from a servo

I was actually thinking of that, awesome specs.

Last time I ran a car it had a servo with about .12/.13 as the speed, and it felt slow! So was thinking something super fast!

Does the KO 30100 have a good rep?

Afair few of drivers that i race with on a regular basis have used these servos since they came on to the market and had no issues with them seem to be a good servo all round;

The beauty of them if something does go wrong prety simple to send back to RC Disco at derby and not to johhny no mate international;

Greg is pretty good on his support and warrenty on any faulty item

I take it this what you meant please excuse me if not
