Servo Speed
#1
What transit speed of a servo is fast enough? Will be using it in a 4wd short course truck. Is .10 pleanty fast enough? whats too slow. And what spped should I use in a 4wd tenth scale buggy?

This doesn't apply to you but for throttle servos, faster is better. Give me all the speed they can make.
For steering servos, you need some speed but it doesn't need to be ridiculous. I would say .15 would be a good number for the slowest I would go. .12-.10 is plenty fast.

transit speed is more important for steering in an onroad car. the faster the better, gives a much more precise feel. offroad a bit slower is fine, offroad trucks dont react the same, and too fast can make them twitchy. .10-.12, as stated, is just fine. just make sure you get something with some torque to get those tires turned.

Great the one I bought is probably way too fast .06, oh well like Dave S said I can turn down the Dual Rates. Is 306oz. of torque enough for 2wd short course truck? I found a Savox that I'm probably gonna get for my 4wd SC truck that's .10 speed with 555oz. of torque lol crazy. 150.00 bucks.

monster trucks need a lot more torque with todays wheel tire sizes. ive run 140oz/in in my savage, it takes the width of a 2 lane road to turn around.

Or if you are using a 4 AA receiver pack, ditch it for something with more oomph.
