590

spectrum made a 590 servo its intended for steering, is it beefy or is it the equvilant of the stock steering servo ?

 

[THE JUDGE]

I have one of those Spektrum Z590M servos. It's pretty close to the HPI steering servo specs (85 oz/in i think), but metal gear. I was going to use it for steering, and then realized it wouldn't be much of an upgrade...I used something else instead.

i got the 270 and 590 servos with my dx3. After testing the 270 is really slow so I use the 590 as my throttle servo and a dodgy tower pro 995 (i think it is) for steering. The 995 is cheap and strong but over shoots when it doesn't have a lot of load.

I guess I'm cheap cuz the Hitec HS-645MG was my economical upgrade
