what servos are you using in your trucks? Stadium Trucks ecspecially because im looking to get a new servo. My T3 can turn fine, but i have to drag the turn out, i cant do any sharp turns fast enough for it to make a differance.

i use a futaba 9404 in my FT T-3... it's fast, has twice the torque of an el' cheapo servo... has metal gears... and is quite a bit cheaper than the super high end servo's...

peace out.... :)

I use the Cirrus CS-80-MG servo in my maxx. It might seem a little slow on a stadium truck but for a monster its awsome

Cirrus servos are supposed to be pretty good and about 1/3 the cost of futabas, airtronics, etc. Got to www.hobbypeople.net (http://www.hobbypeople.net) for cirrus servos.

Hobbico makes a Metal gear hi-torque servo for $40. It has 132oz of torque and .18 sec. to 60 degrees. It may not be what you want but its an idea. I use it in my Stampede.
See Ya Later :D

I'm using a Hitec 925mg. It's real quick: 60 degrees in .08 secs. Around 100 ounces of torque. It's kind of expensive at around $90, but the geartrain has lifetime guarentee I believe, maybe just three years. I can't remember for sure. It is a great servo. Good steering servos make a big difference, but beware... Once you've used one, You'll ever be able to use a cheapie again!

I just picked up a Hitec HS-625 and is is plenty for a T3 it has 93 oz of torque and .13 or .15 sec. transit time and at 4.8 volts it still gets like 75 or so oz. of torque and .18 sec. transit time. and you also get a geartrain that is gaurented against breakage for 2 years. And you get all of this for about 45$

Get the Airtronics digital sefvo! It has almost 200oz/in and is super fast, .06 is how fast it is Ithink, it is about $100 though!
