+1. Truggies are heavy and you need some torque to slow them, and the tires are heavy and need some torque to turn them. Look into the Futaba servos, they had some good prices not long ago. Hitec, Savox, Ace, also all make good servos. Servos just aren't a place to save money, you're going to have to bite the bullet and buy good ones. Might look for used ones if money is an issue.

Can't see your pics here at work, I'll look at them later at the house. Here's a link to a thread where some of us are still running the 1.0 truggy. Going to race mine this weekend as a matter of fact.
