So my question is, why would you not want the servo to be as fast as possible? Is there a situation where a steering servo can be too fast?

Also the H5020G is rated at 33oz/[email protected] and 39oz/in@6v. Is this enough torque?

I can tell you that a KO 951 running on a lipo rx pack is the first servo I've ever used the servo speed function on my radio to slow down. It was so fast I ended up replacing it with the modestly spec'd Futaba 9650. With the advent of 1s speedos with built in boosters, I may end up going back.
