Default good servos to use on a tlt?

well im wondering what servos i should get to run on my custom tlt (its going to be running a custom frame, stampede tranny, sub c battery, tlt axles, hpi split 5 spoke rims and geolandar tires. (its a copy (sort of) of the courier trail rig farther down the page) im running independent rear steer with a modded tq3 (is $80 cnd a good price for a brand new tq3 and receiver?)

What is the currency exchange on that.... about $30 American? J/K

I think $80 cnd is kinda high, you can buy new TQ3 systems on Ebay for $20-$30

$80 is outrageous for a tq3 maybe like $25 shipped and a hitec 645mg is a great servo but for a few extra dollars you can get the hitec 5645mg digital servo that has alot more tourque

I run Futaba S3305 servo's on my TLT. They are Cheaper than 645's and higher quality. No issues what so ever. I even ran one on my TXT without a problem. If you want to run 4ws on a two channel radio by a futaba & a hitec. They are wired diffently and it should work great.

I am using a Traxxas 2055 (stock emaxx steering servo). It works pretty well. It was lying around so it didn't cost me anything. But at $25 it is good. If i had the extra money i would go for the hitec 645mg. I do have one but it is going on my mad force crawler instead...for obvious reasons.
