Default Truggy Servo

Has anyone tried a futaba BLS152 Super High-Torque Air Servo for the steering servo in a truggy. It's got great specs just wondered if there was a reason it couldn't be used in truggy?

I'd use the BLS352 or the 9157. They will be a lot better suited to truggy.

According to the specs it's like 2 tenths of an ounce heavier than the others.

Do you want to expand on your statement like explaining why.

why do we have the hitec bandwagon on a futaba question? good god stay in your own thread for once!

now to the original question.

I have been running only futaba servos for the past 2 years with zero prbs. I currently run the bls351 and the 9351 and love them!

I do not know why they say to run that servo in airplanes.

here is a video I found with google of a bls152 in a crawler..

but for the money go with the bls351 you will love it...

I have been running the Futaba 9157 since it came out in my 8ight T 2.0 The servo is a absolute beast that would probably turn the steering in my real car (Honda CRX).

WOW.

The thread I opened said "truggy servo".

You guys need to remember that there are children reading this stuff.

That kind of language is totally un-called for.
