i have a question for you guys

i dont want a BS answer like i get everywhere else

i need a new servo

everyone says i need like 200-300oz.. my answer to them...... "no"


for short course trucks, people say u need like 100-150oz... umm.. no

i ran a 50z servo in my sc10 and it was perfectly fine keeping up with the 5645's and the 5625's on the track, and it didnt run hot, nor did i break the servo, i still use that srevo to this day(its a cirrus MG servo from like 2002)


now.. realistically.. what is a good amount of torque for the rc8's


i had a chinese knockoff 180oz servo(which gave out about 160ish?)

and it was MORE than enough, but the slot that pin sits ing(the pin that holds the gears in place) broke

but i wanna know the minimum

80oz? 100oz?

i know these cars are heavier than 10th scale, which is why you'd need more
but i dont wanna spent $50+ on a servo.. trying to live off a budget is hard...
