Servo Questions

[Preacher_Ed]

I finally ordered some Lipos and got around to playing with my flux. I noticed that the steering is fine with wheels up off the ground, but when the weight of the truck is on the front wheels the servo appearing to weak to turn the wheels fully (even with the truck moving). I'm going to replace the steering servo, but need some information. I know that I'm going to order a servo with all metal gears, and my budget is around $100. What is the difference between analog and digital servos and which one is best for my application (some bashing, some racing)? My truck is little heavier than stock (5mm TCS crawler TVP's and Tech 5 wheels with Big Joe tires), What is the torque spec on the factory HPI servo and what should I be looking for in terms of torque for a new one? I want a server powerful enough (with good response) to turn the wheels lock to lock while the truck is sitting still.

If the servo you have is an hpi sf 20 then it has 91oz in of torque. Which is pathetic.
You can get a good much more powerful servo for a lot less than $100. For what you need you will want a servo with 200oz in or more
These are some good options

Pretty much any digital servo with more than 200oz in. of torque will be good. (Make sure you look at the torque reading at 6.0v, not 4.5v or 7.4v)
Brand isn't all that important. Oh also make sure to get metal or titanium geared

Make sure you look at the speed of the servo as well, personally I prefer my steering servo to react quickly.

This is a servo that I found on amazon. It has 222.2 oz/in at 6.0v. The speed is .20 (which I think is kinda slow). It takes a good outlay of cash to find a servo that is both powerful and fast.
