How to use the two servos I bought...
#1
I recently purchased an RC8 buggy kit and two Hi Tec servos.
My local hobby shop sold me a HS 625MG and a HS 645MG - one for steering and one the engine/braking.
The question is I can't recall which one I am supposed to use for steering and which for engine/braking.
Should I use the more powerful servo for steering or for the engine/braking?
Seriously showing my ignorance with this question, I am sure, but would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks in advance,
Travis

You will want to use the 625 for throttle/Brake and the 645 for steering.
The 625 and 645 are great servos but in my opinion they are at the lower end of what a 1/8 buggy needs. The 645 would be great for throttle/brake but a 200+oz/in torque servo would be better for steering.

This truck is raced , bashed and smashed. Hs-645mg for throttle/brake( a little slow , but strong) and an Hs-985mg for steering. Been abusing this servo for the last 6 months . no problems yet
985Mg is under 200 OZ but is holding out.
I also have this servo for steering my AX-10 Scorpion (gets a little warm , but after 50 hours of crawling it hasn't missed a beat
