Most of the discussion is indeed in that regard, but that is not what I got from the OP, Josh made no mention of identical servos and to me it reads like he is asking if a high torque plane servo is suitable for cars. I answered the OP rather than adding to the discussion, yes it plane servos can be used but they wont be ideal. If you look at the Josh linked to neither are very fast at .14 and .17 seconds being plane servos (as I mention above) and getting their high torque from low gearing rather than big motors, you wont find servos with identical specs to these sold for car use as they're not fast enough to justify the price.


To add to the discussion if two servos have the same gears torque and speed to me they are the same servo despite one being marketed for cars and the other for planes, its a pure marketing decision trying to get a share of both servos markets while only investing in the tooling to make one servo, however only one of them, or if they go for a compromise between weight and speed neither of them will be ideal for the marketed application.
