Steering Servo Minimum Torque

[DaveG28]

As per the titel i guess, what is the mimimum torque needed on an 8th buggy steering servo?

Also, any particulare requirements around the throttle servo?

i would say12kg minimum,around 15 is better especially if you end up on high bite/muddy tracks.

the ace 1015 would be my choice,im sure others will chirp in with their faves.

Don't forget metal gears!!! Plastic won't last long with that much force.

As dave says an +12kg, ACE servo, or equivalent Savox.

I use a Futaba BLS 351 for the steering & BLS 451 for the Throttle.

I am another for the Ace DS1015's - they do a deal for 2pcs at JEspares, so check that out.

Use the provided arm for steering, it is strong, but for the throttle/brake arm use the arm that came with your chassis (I recall it being the Futaba one) - and put a bag between it to make it tight, then washer under head of screw to spread the load - don't want that slipping!!!!!

Savox 1258 & 1256 seems to be another good combo to choose.

Cheers guys. On the throttle side, is 9kg/cm enough torque for the brakes?
