Default Better steering servo????

Hey guys I have a TXT-1 that now has spools. Its not 4ws yet, but my steering sucks now with the servo that is in place. I'm looking to upgrade it and add the 2nd servo for the 4WS.

Which servo is the better one...looking at the Hitec 645MG and the TowerPro MG995...thanks

You will probably need to go with a strong digital servo, or 1/4 scale. I tried the Hitech 645, not enough power. Then the Hitech 985, not much better. I ended up with the Hitec 5955 for the front steering and moved the 985 to the rear. It works pretty good unless you get the truck in a bind. Another thing you may look into is keeping the track width narrow, and the tires narrow as well. My TXT turns much better with XLs and narrowed Axials than it did with 40 series Mashers, wheel adapters and MAX offset wheels (think MAJOR tire scrub).

I was thinking of going Axial beadlock 40 series wheels and regular moab's. Guess I need to find a servo that will work......
