There's a bit of a caveat to your question. If your servo has 5 oz of torque, and the servo is 0.001 sec/60º, its worthless. Conversely, if you have a servo with 600oz of torque but at 1.0 sec/60º, that's also worthless.
I generally aim for a minimum of 175 oz of torque, and no slower than 0.12 sec/60º speed for a 2WD 1/10th buggy.
The servo I'm currently running is 319 oz @ 0.08 sec/60º (@ 6V), but not everyone is willing to spend that kind of cash on a servo. The Protek 160T is a decent servo for the $100 it costs.
BTW, you may get more answers in the radio/electronics forum
