Servos for Nitro Truggy
#1
i know it probably really doesn’t matter to much and more about personal preference but what’s the take on throttle servo. Higher torque or Higher speed. I’m going to get good servos but wasn’t sure if a .07@500oz or a .13@600oz would be better or what’s. I seen a video and Adam Drake likes a slower servo and more torque for more consistent braking and a smoother throttle response.
But every other article I see and many other Pros all use faster servos for throttle and or the same servo for throttle and brake as steering.
Just like to to see what most are doing?

Look at the Blue Bird BLS-29A. I'm running mine on 6V for steering and it is lightning fast and strong. I was skeptical of the specs for $70 but it's fantastic so far. I've got an ongoing review thread to track how it holds up over time. 330 oz in and 0.068s at 6V. A lot more at 8.4V.
The BLS-36A and BLS-42A are a little slower with even more torque.

I use these SRT for both steering and throttle servos in 1/8 from Dialed Hobbies. Great servos. https://dialedhobbies.com/accessorie...s-servo-detail

I’m not really looking for brands I have a lot of good servos. MKS, Savox, Hitec, Futaba, etc. I’m looking at getting the Protek 170SBL steering and 170TBL throttle. Or 2 of the same for both. As Drake uses the TBL for throttle because it’s slower and stronger. As he says it’s smooths out the throttle and the extra torque is more constant on breaking. Where as a lot of other drivers use 2 SBL.
Just curious what what you all use for throttle.
