I guess it stems from our collective preferences that stems from the "more is better" philosophy. Truthfully, I tend to think that way too. The greater question is quite possibly: how much torque is actually required for a servo to move the steering system of a buggy so as to give adequate performance?

I also recall somewhere that some pro drivers would go as high as 6 cells for the reciever pack, giving the servos even greater performance at the expense of longevity.
