here are the specs on the 1257:
Speed @ 6.0V: 0.07 sec/60°
Torque @ 6.0V: 138 oz-in / 10 kg-cm
Weight: 52.4g
Bearing: Dual
Type: Standard
Gear: Titanium and Aluminum
Case: Aluminum Heatsink
Output Shaft: 25T Spline (Futaba)
Case Size (LxWxH): 40.3x20x37.2mm
thats plenty for throttle..most guys around here run the 1258 SAvox on throttle and that is rated at 0.13 i think (not sure). Savox servos comply with the criteria stipulated in the above post....they last forever..im on my 3rd buggy ...same set of servos...but then you would know since you run them too
my cousin had futaba BLS servos in his last buggy..and they "had" to be good since they were stupidly expensive....well they are in the trash now
...the steering servo went first and then the throttle one....all while watching my "cheap" savox's keep on going like the day they were new. needless to say he is a believer now
