I've had good luck with the 9550 for steering in my ep, seems to have plenty of power... If it doesnt work right, I'll just switch, I have the 9451 for throttle now.

9550 still work but i think its power is a bit marginal. steering drag is much different between rubber tire and foam tire due to different traction. Holding power of steering servo plays very important role on consistent cornering.

Well I'll give it a shot, bought it to be low cg, if it doesnt work, I'll switch the servos, or buy another S9451.

Thanks, it was nice meeting you too, Francis. I guess I still have some catch up to do to compete with you guys.

I plan to make Rev my home track, so you will be seeing a lot of more of me.

Randman, I run 45f 42r and it runs good, although I was still on the verge of traction rolling on sunday. I have tried the same shore all the way around and it just doesnt work for me, too much steering.

Thanks,

tell me your finding. may be i am too worrying about the small size servo. I might switch to 9550 for steering if you have a good result with it !

Why not use a 9451 for throttle as well? It'll have more weight lower, so it'll only help

i find out i dont use as much brake as the others do so i dont need a high torque servo for throttle. besides, it does look nice with a smaller throttle servo there !

I would propably be able to drive the car fine if I didn't even hook up the break linkage and just had throttle, lol.

I run 1 way diffs even on the tightest track layout..

i believe so, the track that we usually go is small to medium size with technical infield layout. fun to play at.
