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!

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
