Default Stronger Steering Servo

Where can I find a stronger steering servo for my WK?

I ask because I did a few mods to my steering and the stock servo doesn't quite have enough torque to turn my wheels unless I am slightly moving.

That servo will kill your bec and esc, if your using the stock things. Tower Pro servos work well. John Holmes has them has them. The MG945 has 200oz in and the MG995 has 165oz in. Click. For $20 its alot of servo.

I would get a bluebird 620 or 630. Both have over 140oz of torque at 6v and are under $30.

The three servos on the second row are some of the cheapest and best. Nick told me about' em. He said there pretty good.

I don't know. I would probably say yes. You can ask Nick Rummy just in case i'm wrong. (pm him, he'll anwser ya question. I can almost put money on it.). He knows alot. Don't thank me for any of the links he showed them to me along time ago. If it won't fit you can go to this link.

I just got an MG945 for my WK. it's the same size as the stock servo, so it should fit just fine in the stock location, the wire is a few inches longer, too. For $19 and 200+ oz-in of torque, even Michael Jackson can't beat that!

Just ordered one as well. Seems like a really good deal for the price. The 55in-oz I have now just isnt cutting it.
