Default Servo?

My cirrus servo is a good servo but my wraith still turns like it was stock. I upgraded it so it can turn more but my servo is limiting it. Is there a servo out there that has more turning

The cheapest way is to get a longer servo horn...but you'll sacrifice turning power.

The best thing to do is get a radio with adjustable end points. That will give you full throw.

It is a cirrus i think it is about 80oz of torque. I read that guys use 300oz torque servos.

80 oz is crap for a crawler. 200 +/- oz would do you fine. 300+ if your going to do some really serious stuff, but not required.

I do. The best thing you can do is figure out what you are willing to spend and do some research/window shopping. Anybody worth buying from will list specs. Check our vendors section for reputable places to shop.

I've also had good luck with Value Hobby. They've got some strong yet economical servos.

Use google if you need to convert kg/cm to oz/in.
