I had an FG monster truck awhile back in need of a steering servo. I too was concerned about the relatively low torque ratings of the 1/4 scale servos out there and picked up two 1/4 scale 200oz hitec's. Thankfully I tried using just one first and ended up returning the other as it turned the wheels like my 9100T did on my Revo. Also the 1/4 servos have stronger gear sets in them to take the higher shock loads a heavier truck will see. I was also powering the servo directly off the reciever battery instead of through the reciever, which alot of 1/5 guys do. It gives the servo some more power and insures the reciever doesn't burn out from the increased load placed on it.
Edit: Cool project man, I really dig the large scale stff, can't wait to see it finished with vids.
