Steering servo (scx10 axle) ???

[cbcrawler300]

Whats a decent steering servo for an scx10 axle with 2.2 beadlocks? (no weight added)

Attempting to get a servo for less than $50 with at least 150oz/in. of torque.

Excuse the rotated photo's!

My kind of guy! Have you used one? Seems like a crazy amount of torque!

I have them on my 3 running scalers, and they work well, it does still struggle a little pushing the 2.2's hard against rocks on the wraith axles on all of these trucks, due to the short steering arm length on the knuckles, but a small nudge forward with the throttle and it's right where you want. I'm going to be running one in my bouncer as both the steering servo, and I'm converting one for winch duty. It's hard to beat the value though, high torque, metal gear, and very inexpensive.

On one of these trucks (only one is a 2.2) I only run it on 6.0v straight from a Sidewinder 3, and it works just fine moving the 1.9 boggers I have on it. The others I run a 10A CC bec set for 7.2v

With 300+oz/in of torque, that more than quadruples the torque of the Team Associated MG servo I currently have on the axle. This was my first scratch build so there are many aspects that aren't perfect but the set up runs fairly well. My having a steering servo that can't pull its own weight is a pain! Thank you for your input, thus fair it seems to be the best route for the value! Thanks again!
