What a good servo as far as like 15kg 20 kg so on whats a good size to you i guess is what I'm asking but without braking the bank

And for steering i feel like my sizes are laxking a little bit not as responsive as i like so what you got for me thx fam
 
I run with a 35kg steering servo in my 1/8 electric models (Buggy, Truggy, Short Course and Monster truck).

I'm not a racer, just a back-yard basher.

I've been happy with the 9imod 35kg servos so far.

AGFRC is another brand I've had good luck with, I use their 24kg servos in some of my 1/10 scale models.

Ya I'm playing with 1/8 nitro buggies you dont think i would need something stronger or tougher than that I'm not a racer or a basher even thou its happens lol i just go and make my own tracks on the beach i appreciate that and am going to look into them
 
I like to buy 4 packs of Animos servos. 40kilo ones. They cost about 70 CDN for the 4 pack. Amazon. Never let me down. Only fail if I crash really hard and strip em.
 
All you would need is something in the 18kg/cm (250oz/in) area. But it needs to be ACTUAL, and not claimed, or inflated.. I ran Hitec servos that weren’t but 150oz/in at the very MOST (my good friends ran much less than that w/645MG’s) for years, and never had an issue.. Servo’s today have us extremely spoiled IMO-to the point where we are wasting our money… That being said-in the high dollar servo game-I cannot afford a Hitec that can compete with the specs, or warranty of a NitroPro… Or even what Tekin offers (but warranty aside, there).. At that point, I’m on the excessive servo side as well, but sleep just fine at night.. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅
