so i just got my new 3pm and got a hitec servo.
it has something like 51 for the torque number
it seems to me that it struggles a little bit with the throttle return spring but the brakes seem to work fine.

is there a recommended torque rating that you need for throttle?

edit: btw i never had this problem with my rappy futaba s3003 servo and its only rated 3 higher
 
I never had much trouble with the throttle/brake servo, even as a RTR.
 
You don't want to pull the brake on, you just want to pull the throttle off in case of a problem.
The way it sounds, when you let off the throttle, the car won't coast, but will engage the brakes. That's way too much.
 
no i mean its the least amount of str it has to be able to even turn the servo
