take the saver off and there is no such thing as a good high torque servo for cheap. you get what you pay for

You want a speed control with a healthy (3 amps or better) BEC output, too. Either that or an rx pack or a seperate voltage regulator for the servos.

Microgoat beat me to it. I had a Clod with a 645 and a Super Rooster in it, and I am pretty sure it could turn the wheels at a dead stop. What ESC are you running?

If you want chit load of power to spare you need to run 1/4 scales they have 333 oz in so they will move the rock it against if it has to.They will fit on the axle brace but you will either have to run the servo's off a reciver pack or straight off the main battery.You havent saw wheels turn till you have saw 1/4 scales on 7.2.

13 lbs on carpet with micro servos

Buy the best servos you can afford.

If you want a standard size servo, get a nice metal gear job.

If you're not concerned about size, 1/4 scale servos will be cheap and effective.
