    The R/C cars are much like virgin piece of ass. You must go slow, young padawan.

    What servo you recommend for a 1/8 scale buggy, these are the ones I'm looking at, Savox, SA1267SG .11/180 oz, SC1256TG .15/277 oz, SC1233SG .07/180.5 oz.

    I've been looking into Savöx as well, they seem the best value for the money.

    The two I've been looking are both high voltage servos, I've been under the assumption you need HV servos, when running high voltage LiPo batteries.

    I'm pretty sure your correct on the HV stuff. A couple of those fellows I ran with last week all swore by Savox, I'm just not up on them, and wondered what you use/recommend, for steering only of course.

    From what I've read over at RCTech Savöx is a pretty good company and many people have been running them for a while. I would also look into Hitec, but they are a little more expensive.
