Hi I got a t-maxx 2.5R and a 3.3 and was wondering what is the best high torque stering servo you can get?

There are a lot of good ones out there. What is your price range? You can get a [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUZ89&P=M]Hitec hs-645mg[/link] for $40. Or you can get an[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLSX0&P=M]airtronics 94361z rock crusher[/link] for $130. There are a few other good ones in between, but be prepared to spend some cash on a good servo for steering.

Airtronics 94358z is good too. 200oz torque, .10 sec response and $100 on Tower.
There are also some off brand's on e-bay that some folks have bought and reported good results with.
Personally I've got the 645mg in most of my trucks and they've been more than adiquate for bashing.

I have a Hitec 945mg?? I think its called.
It was a little over 100$.
Its so much better than stock.
It can turn the wheels the full range of motion when the car is just sitting there.

I just got this servo yesterday and i must say that it is STRONG!!!!! You HAVE to run an aluminum servo paddle on this thing cause with in 30 seconds of installing each of 2 plastic stock paddles, they both were stripped out. This also had to do with the 180 degree of movement it has, but i've trimmed that down. I absolutely love the Htech HSR-5995tg. And it's fast at .12sec steering response time.

Just my $.02

the alum servo horn will not help you if your servo travels further then the turn stoppers allow........this is most likely the reason yours stripped. The radio that will let you do servo travel adjustment will help.....if not....you can always sand the stoppers off (but it has it's own trade offs)

Yes, i figured that one out last night. I adjusted my endpoints on my Sensor and all is well now, but i'm using the alum servo horn anyways. I also sanded the stoppers down to allow for a little more movement and sharper turns. By the way, who makes that servo saver on your revo? Does it have the heavy duty spring?
