Questions?? Hot Bodies digital servos

Hey guys,
I´m looking for two new servos for my 1/8th scale Buggy and found these Hot Bodies servos:
hotbodiesonline.com/piw.php?lang=en&partNo=67991
hotbodiesonline.com/piw.php?lang=en&partNo=67992

What do you think about them, which one would you choose as steering servo?

Definately the hi torque one for steering, well that is if you're running offroad. Can someone correct me on this, it lists the high torque servo as 16kg of torque, doesn't that convert to 564 oz of torque??

16 kg-cm is about 222 oz-in.

Torque is 2 units, force times a lever arm (distance). You converted the kg to oz, just need to add the cm to in conversion.

Thanks! I knew I was wrong in my thinking
somewhere.! That might actually be to much torque for offroad!

but the faster servo with 13kg would be fine for an 1/8th Offroad Buggy?
