Default Gotta love servos

I'm currently in the process of finishing my buggy. The last thing I need is steering and throttle/brake servos. Below are what i believe my options to be, considering I'm working with a budget of 150-160 inc taxes.

Steering: Savox SC-1256TG

Throttle, one of either: Savox 1258TG or SH-1290MG:
http://www.savoxusa.com/Savox_SC1258...avsc1258tg.htm
http://www.savoxusa.com/Savox_SH1290...avsh1290mg.htm

I think i have the steering servos figured out. Without going to high voltage i believe the 1256tg will give the torque and strength i need to track with my buddies.
I would love some help with the steering servo. I know i need quick, but is torque important at all when trying to stop or move the buggy or is it all about speed ?

With that budget in mind I'm open to suggestions and opinions especially with the throttle servo.

Thanks

I would go with this servo..

The steel gear sets seem to be stronger and better shock proof than the Titanium gears from savox. I have 4 1268's between 3 different cars and not one of them has missed a beat in the last 2 years of ownership..

I'm running 2 1268sg's on lipo unregulated. plenty of torque and plenty of speed.

I'm very happy with them. Save the extra money and buy tires.

Ya. That is a serious servo. My budget however is 150-160 for both servos. That would leave me with about 40-50 on a throttle servo.

Oh, I thought you meant $150 each.

Two of these?
I like to run the same two servos. Reason being is I have a few extra servos laying around. If i lose a steering servo I have one with the same torque just like. All I have to do is switch them out. I would then grab one of my weaker servos and use for throttle/brake.
