Default Servo choice

Would a hitec 5646WP servo work in a 1/10 2wd buggy? ( b4.2 ). I has 156 oz. In torque and the speed is 0.2 seconds with 6 volts

Yes and no - the torque is fine, the speed is glacial for a buggy. If you just need to do it for a raceday and it's what you have, go for it but I wouldn't set up the car around it.

Savox SV 1273 @ 7.4 volts .065 sec. 222 torque. Savox has a servo/motor combo sale going on, buy both and $30 off.

How did that servo work for you? Putting in a slower servo can sometimes make the car feel more stable.

I kinda liked it! Gave it a controllable feel, almost less work!
