Another good servo choice is the Airtronics 359 - 200oz./in. and 0.10sec., and they can be had for $110 easily. This is what is in my Jammin' X1-CRT.
However, I really like the feel of the Hitec 5955-TG (now 7955-TG). It's rated at 333oz./in. and 0.15sec., but is an INCREDIBLE servo. It throws the tires like they're nothing.

One list thing, stick with a steel spur. If your gear mesh changes for whatever reason, you WILL strip the Kyosho spur gear. And Mike's pinions will have no problem with a steel spur, so even if the mesh does change no harm will be done.

ROAR packs only if they are sanctioned by roar. yes its less weight etc, but rules are rules..... (and loopholes are loopholes)

i think 150 oz of tq qould be adequate for a truggy, 175 is perfect IMO, 333 is rediculous :D but also it costs almost 50 dollars more

I know that the pinions are fine with steel spurs ( the stock is a cnc hardened 66t unit) but its just rediculously loud I will look into metal gears
