Also what specs should I be looking for in steering servos for 10th scale buggy? Thanks for any advice you can provide.
That battery capacity would probably be correct but it could depend on if you are running stock or mod and how long of runs you need. Definitely get a shorty configured pack.
For steering servos in 2wd buggies I like to stay below .10s transit and above 120 in-oz torque. Some of my favorites are the Reedy 1206, Reedy 1408, or Xpert PI-3402. All of those will be more than enough at 6v BEC. There are lots of other servos that exceed those specs so you should have lots to choose from to meet your taste/budget.
