Ok guys, i've narrowed my choices down to two servos, the Associated ds1015 or the savox 1256tg. The savox is rated for more torque but is slower. My question is, should I go for more speed or more torque? Which would I miss most in my buggy?

I would go with the servo that has the most torque.

you can't go wrong with the savox servo. I own six of them and run them in 1/10 buggy and 1/8 nitro late models and never have any problems.

savox all the way

Get the best of both worlds...

A Savox 1267 has 290/.09
A Savox 1268 has 360/.11

The 126x series is high voltage, not sure what kind of power he is putting to the servo?

I have a 1256tg in my truggy for steering and has more than enough torque for its application. 1258tg for thr/brk.

1258tg in my SC10
1257tg in my b4

The 1256 is definitely the slowest of the three, but still plenty of speed for steering 1/8th. Not a slouch on torque by any means, and thats run with a 5 cell (6v) receiver pack.

The savox servos are awesome and i can see them lasting a while, they arent underpowered for what they are doing at all.
