Sort of. Technically it’s a twisting force, but with a given servo arm it relates to force. Correct units are a force times a distance, ounce-inch or kilogram-centimeter, abbreviated oz-in or kg-cm. Need to have enough torque to resist wheel forces when loaded up in a corner, including shocks from bumps and such, and provide durability.
AWESOME! Thank you Dave H.
So the lower the number the faster the reaction in the servo.
And I would assume I need a servo with higher torque for an off road aplicatin than an on road car>
Thanks for all the help dude!
