hey I'm going to get a new 1/8 buggy (Ofna Ultra LX2) i know its not the best buggy out there but i got to start racing with something right.
with the buggy I'm buying losi's ride height gauge, camber gauge, digital caliper and a new servo (for steering)

For the servos I'm looking at Spektrum s8000 or the Spektrum s8010

I'm not sure which one to get the high torque or the high speed servo please help can't decide between the two
 
For Buggy Steering...I prefer a high speed servo and I'll run a high torque on throttle/brake...or even a high speed with 150+ oz/in or torque on throttle/brake. I like the steering to be responsive ;-)
 
for steering i prefer torq over speed. but i'm a little twitchy with the steering. I can highley recomend the hitec 7955tg. been running the same one for two years and it still works like it did when new. it also has more than enough speed. but its not as fast as some others out there.....Mark
 
+1 on the expo i couldn't believe how much i could adjust stuff wen i did the jump from fm to my dx3s. Mind you i dont know if the fm's have that .
