Amount of Servo torque - What would you consider the best for...

[Gee]

I thought about putting one of these in each of the individual forums and ask the same question over for each of my RCs. That wouldn't work well with all the collective knowledge being here in the General Discussion forum and some of you never visiting the lonely halls of the Jato forum. I've often wondered if I am buying enought servo and end up with the highest torque I could get. Some call that overkill others call it security. If I could of bought 2 servos that would of done the job for the price I paid for the one. Then it's just wasting money. My pockets are not as deep these days so I can't just keep running out and buying the highest torque servo.

So if you got a minute to put down what you think would work for minimum. I guess we all want the best so put down what you think would be the best or optimal amount of torque for a steering servo. There's Futaba, HiTec, JR servo fans in here and we all are loyal to them. So that why I was just curious about the amount of torque for a servo.

I'm not sure if I got sections right below. If not I would appreciate a correction, subtraction, or addition. Thanks for sharing this it's going to help me out a lot and will be one of those threads I go back and look at before I buy another servo and hopefully a lot of others too.

Let me know if there is some other information I can look up to add to this thread that would be helpful to others also or make the question easier on you all. I don't mind at all doing some more research if it can make this more useful or less like a tax form.

I guess to standardize it somewhat lets go with 6v for the servo.

1/10th scale 2 wheel drive (RC10GT, Rustler, Jato)




1/10th scale mini-truggy 4wd (crt.5, ls10, DST)




1/8th Buggy 4wd




1/8th Truggy - Muggy



E-Maxx - Revo - Savage - LST (Single servo setups)
Where do you put these guys? Not familiar enought with the LST or Savage and have never figured out how they call the Revo or Emaxx a 1/10th. So I don't know if it fair to bunch them together or not.
