Servo's for 8ight-T - steering & maybe brakes? - 05.26.2009, 08:55 AM

hi all,

Can someone help recommend the speed & torque of a steering servo for an 8ight-T conversion, and also one for brakes (not sure if I will run mech. brakes or not yet). I have no idea what to use as baseline specs for servo's.

thanks all

You are looking for something over 250 for steering like a Hitec 7955TG and something fast around 150 for brakes 7940TG / HS-5945MG

Yep, the Hitec 7955TG is a great servo for a truggy setup because of the Titanium gears. The Ti gears can take and handle the pounding a truggy throws on the servo. Otherwise you'll be replacing gears in the servo.

Skip mech brakes and that'll save you a servo - You also need to hunt around for deals :)

+1 to Hitec, I use Hitec 5955TG(now replaced by 7955TG), great servo but just a bit noisy, not an issue for outdoor use.

I also recommend Futaba BLS351, tough and fast brushless servo.
