Protek has one that's 630oz or around there its a 170t special edition but wondering if there is higher.figured there would be at least 700 or 800 out there.trying to make a OSI 5t light as possible so using a single standard servo for steering and wanna get the strongest.save 3/4 lb just switching brake and steering servo to standard.

I don't think any amount of torque will keep you from blowing out the gears trying to run a standard servo on a 1/5 scale.

Really,u don't think a 600oz standard servo would last just the same as a giant servo that comes stock with 300 and whatever ounces torque?I figured power was power whether servo was a tonegawa size or micro size,but that is just my guess.guess I should figure it out before I spend the money on em.thanks for bringing up the point.

Bigger servos have bigger, stronger teeth on the gears and hold up to the abuse better. Even if a standard servo has the power, the gears are rather small and would likely fail pretty quickly. It's the same reason 1/10 scale cars don't run micro servos even if they have enough torque.

Makes sense.might not be able to get away with one for steering but maybe running the mech brakes.just wish these 1/5 servos weren't 1/2 lb each.
