Anyone think an ~8.5kg/cm(120oz/in) is totally insufficient at a novice/intermediate club level? I mean how much torque did servos have 15 or 20 years ago, I feel like the new defacto 10kg min is overkill for a lot of scenarios.
If this is a reasonable hypothesis, then it frees up about 20g of mass for me to either ditch, or be able to move around the car for tuning with no detriment to total weight.
Thoughts?
I run Futaba BLS551 and BLS571 and they are around 130 oz-in (btw, not oz/in) and they are perfect. 120 should be fine.
