Servo in a 2WD buggy?

[tobbe]

I'm searching for a servo to have in a 2WD buggy. I don't have any idea how fast and strong it should be. So please! Give me some advice of which servo I should buy? Not Bluebird because I've had some bad experience with them and some of my friends too...

sanwa/airtronics or hitec are good brands.

Any 4 digit KO servo is quality, under 0.1 is reasonably fast, 0.06 VERY fast. In 2wd 0.09 is about good enough for almost anyone and if from a decent manufacturer (KO, futaba, sanwa) don't worry about torque too much.

Metal gears are nice to bullet proof it some!

I use a futaba 9402 in my 2wd and 4wd. Its pretty fast, yes not as quick as the servo Dan uses (or everyone else) but quick enough for me.

But I guess its a bit pricey (£60) so what about Ace (thunder tiger)servos. I hear that they are a lot cheaper than KO/Futaba etc but just as quick.

The ace servos are pretty much bomb proof.

a bit slower than the fastest ko out there but they have silly ammounts of torque, lots of the 1/8th rallyX guys use them and haven't heard any complaints

i'm currently using an old futaba 9402 on my RB5.
it's not cheap and it's not digital.

but it has metal gears, bearings and lasts a long time. mine is probably 5 yrs old now and has had a tour of duty in an 1/8 buggy too.
