Anyone slow down their steering servo?

[cabbynate]

Just a question as servos are so fast these days that is seems they may be why so many people spin out. Most high end transmitters allow you to slow the steering down so I just though I would get some input? .
Cheers,

hi nate, i was using ko servos in my 4wd and t/c,both went sour.this year i'm running futaba 9450's in both,spec wise they should be slower than the ko's, but driving wise they feel lots faster and have had to turn steering speed down to 85% in my buggy,but keep the return speed at 100%.
i think that the top drivers may benifit from super fast servo's,but mere mortals like myself may struggle to benifit from a servo being 0.1 seconds faster than another one and costing £30 more. i suppose its all down to personal choice and what your local model shop stock?

We actually went from Sanwa ERG WRX servo's which are very fast to Futaba 9550's in our TC's due to reduced space for the electrics in our current cars. We've actually found we get on better with these slightly slower servo's, especially in the wet!
We use Hitec 645 MG servo's in our 4WD off road buggies as we wanted more torque than speed adn didn't really want twitchy servos on a bumpy track.

I have moved the link closer to the screw on the servo in my X10 to slow it down a little and get more torque if that counts. Seemed easier on the slippy at Batley (i did it half way through the day).

I went from a slowish servo to a faster one with more torque. The torque was useful when turning at speed but i still aint got used to the speed of the servo
I slowed it down with settings on the TX and its easier for me to drive.

hi Nate i use either ko's or futaba's but i also use the speed setting on transmitter to reduce down to about 60% turn and 80% return depending on the day but mainly around that area just saves the twitchy turnin and find i dont oversteer so much.
