Sorry I didn't read properly James's post I quoted - I meant It's truth with KoPropo 2123

Now I have a spare 1256 which is half the speed of a 1258, but almost twice the torque, so if you are moving the ball stud to give an effectively shorter arm and therefore less mechanical advantage to the system on impacts, then you will also be reducing the effective speed of the steering as your sweep will need to be greater to achieve the same amount of steering travel/angle.
I've got plenty fast steering even with shorter arm, so I belive you with higher torque servo wil lbe safe Anyway I belive that 1258 Savox servo can survive also with longer arm I just play it safe as I don't see that big speed advantage of longer arm.
