For steering or throttle?

I don't have a buggy but all the reviews I have read suggest a high torque servo for steering. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 oz. For the throttle you just need enough power to get the buggy to stop.
 
For throttle it is ok but just that ok and what is the speed of the servo, because for throttle speed is good. I would suggest something with double that torque spec for steering as you will be able to on-power turns much better. A lower torque servo causes you to take corners much slower on a dirt track. I droped 5 secs consistantly on my lap times with my new high torque steering servo and high speed throttle servo, with most of the credit going to the steering servo.
 
Owch, Anyone kno the price of a 100 oz torque servo? Anyone know where to get one for cheap? Or 1 to sell? HELP MEH!

The speed of the 51 oz servo is .15 seconds. Iz that ne good? Helpz me.
