A 7955 casn often move faster than a high speed servo like the 7940. Just put your weight down on your car to load those front tires and turn that wheel. I learned that factoid from giant scale airplanes.
Servos get slower when load is applied. The 7955, 7950, don't slow down as much thanks to all that torque.
Completely agree for steering. With the throttle applying much less load to the servo than the steering the high speed servos don't slow down nearly as much. They do slow down when you apply the brakes, but you can't really feel the speed once the brakes are already applied. I personally like the feel of the super fast servo on throttle. I know a lot of people that don't though. Kind of a personal preference thing I guess.
