Motor type: 3 Pole
Bearing type: Metal Gear
Speed: 0.07 @ 6v
Torque: 26oz @ 6v, or 1.9kg.cm
size: 29mm x 13mm x 30mm (34mm mount points-which appear to fit the left side)
Is that enough torque? This sure is a small little burger—I"m used to 1/10th scale servo's. Any help is much appreciated.

Ron,
Hitec HSG - 5084MG, will fit in a 12th scale, the sizing is a little smaller than JR Z3650
Depending on what car you are running JR Z3650 is my choice.
Spend a little more and get JR Z3650.
Found this being metal gear also faster over the Futaba S9650, this is just personal preference however.
It don't fit in the RC12 due to the servo being mounted to the deck, can be done via servo tape just make sure you warm up the tape before hand to get a good seal.
CRC, Xray and Serpent 120 all have servo post like TC's.. so can run something smaller.
Hope this helps
