Sounds like you have already made up your mind. I say put a 30.00 cheapo in your RC8 and then spend the 85 like you should after a hard lesson learned.
been in the hobby for 10 years.....
if a 50oz servo works on a short course truck, and a 35oz servo works in a 2wd 10th scale buggy, then i see no reason why someone would need 300oz for an 8th scale buggy
maybe for a comp crawler, where the tires are literally grabbing the rock, and you wanna turn the wheels.. sure, thats fine
airplane guys use 15-20oz servos in some situations for aerobatics, which requires lots more precision and torque than turning wheels
the airplane parts can be literally blown away with ur own breath when not on the airplane, and 20oz servos keep them in place, against gravity and wind resistance, not to mention that the higher up you go, the higher the air pressure is.
i put $15 into the cheapo one, and wondering if i should just get another one and loosen the servo saver assembly a bit, or get something of better quality that will do fine
and if ur wondering if ive ever used that high amount of torque servos, yes i have
i used to run a hitec 5625 in an sc10 i had before the factory team i had
i felt no difference between the hitec and the cirrus servo im using
