The outdrives do come from the Mayhem. I'm not sure which others parts. I have never seen any of the Losi guys claim the car is made in the US. I guarantee the race rollers are not US assembled and the guys I know who run the Losi have told me of getting parts made in several countries. I believe the car was designed and tested in the US.
"I guarantee the race rollers are not US assembled"
You better do your homework to back up a statement like that . Getting parts made in several countries is B.S. Do your friends work for Losi/Horizon ? Sure they heard that from someone and think it`s true . Anyway flap your jaw all you want , I really don`t care what you think .

Actually the out drives are not from the Turmoil . They look similar but the Losi out drives are made from a different metal than the Turmoil ones .

That is if it actually is 300 ounces, i am pretty sure certain companies over-rate their servo's and others under-rate them.

DR ZAIRUS: The reason for the switch to digital AND HRS with my 3pks w/FASST is I wanted to have a digital servo BECAUSE I can then set fail-safe quite easier with the radio remembering it. As for the HRS mode, I dont think one would be able to tell a difference in offroad. In onroad yes because there should be less play in the linkage and one typically is moving much faster with much more grip to better "feel" slight changes. If one states they notice a difference, its cause of the hype and what they want to feel (in offroad that is) I have noticed that most fast onroad guys still use FM because there will actually be less latency (no analog to digital converters and back) HOWEVER; the purely digital systems like the Nomadio React and Sensor my be different.

For a buggy you 100oz/in or more is desirable for steering. Many people use the JR 9000S for steering which is rated at 128oz/in with a transit speed of .06/60º Even this servo holds its position great during high speed turns. 150+ is not needed for steering, but may be for throttle. Realize that 128oz/in is 8 POUNDS of torque. The buggies weight about that or more, however they do not have to fight that much torque with the directions the load is placed on them. Think of a full size car with no servo assisted or hydraulic assistance for steering. Yes its hard to turn the wheels, but at moving speed it is much easier, AND you aren't applying as much torque as the vehicles weigh to turn the steering wheel.

My Hyper8 buggy and XT8 truck received 333oz and 410oz of torque respectively for steering department.

I never said its a preference. However its the idea that you need an insane amount of torque that is not true. Any more torque than low 120s is not going to hold your line any better than say 300oz/in of torque IN A BUGGY. In a truggy it can be good because there is quite a bit more rotating mass to move. As for preference, I just desire any high dollar servo with torque of 120oz/in or more and a transit speed of .10 seconds/60º or more. Like I said before, I just wanted to try something new, and honestly, the Futaba BL451s are working better than my Airtronics 358s, but I can not say if it is because of age, the fact that they are digital or the fact that they are brushless. Next I am going to try the JR 9100s, but I KNOW that is overkill, and a super fast transit speed of .06 seconds will probably hurt me personally as a driver. I know in onroad any faster than .10 seconds does hurt my driving skills.

I'm not arguing, just trying to state the facts of what is needed and what is not needed. With the current trend in servos, and hype, soon people will be stating as fact that one needs a 400oz/in servo for a buggy
If you pick a servo, it IS more important to have enough torque rather than top transit speed. Without the proper amount of torque, a servo is useless. Its not that higher torque works well for you and lower torque works well for me like you stated. 120oz/in in recent buggies will work for everyone.

...this is stupid , and ill say this one more time...YOUR FINDINGS IS BEST FOR YOU (and the rest of the world as you say) AND I LIKE MY WAY!!!!!!!! so lets get the heck over it, cause this could go on forever...so your right and the rest of the others and i that like more torque are wrong...

I would say 13 kg is more than enough torque for buggy steering... obviously more if u like.
I would also say 10kg is more than enough torque for throttle/brake... again more if u like.
speed I would look at, at least .13 or quicker...
My opinion, works fine for me and most of the fast guys at my club...
Use these specs and u wont be dissapointed
