Futaba BLS351 servos are in my T 2.0 on both throttle and steering. They are fast and have plenty of torque too.

SPECS: Torque: 4.8V: 173 oz-in, 6.0V: 217 oz-in
Speed: 4.8V: 0.16 sec, 6.0V 0.13 sec

i would recommend getting the BLS351 or BLS352 for throttle/brake and the S9157 for steering, its a airplane servo but works great and last a long time! :nod:

BLS351/352 for the Steering and a BLS451/452 for the throttle/brake. Mine have been in a Losi 1.0 and are now in a Losi 2.0 and have had no problems for 3 years with this combo on NiMh.

Agreed, I know a lot of the futaba guys and race with them weekly, they have had zero issues. I also run them in my sons buggy.

when I ran futaba servos I ran 351 and 451 in both buggy and truggy.

I have run a bunch of futaba servos and the most reliable and best bang for the buck is the s9351. I run it for throttle and steering and i run it straight lipo. I have raced 2 pro series seasons straight lipo and havent had one go out yet
