Would a Hitec 985MG be too underpowered for a single steering setup? It has metal gears. My crappy 2075 was fine, but the tires, low COG, and power of my ERBE put too much strain on the gears. I realize the others have more torque, and are twice as much. But a lotta guys run them. Heck, BRO has gotten tons of life out of his $20 Ebay MG servo!
