XRAY - Model racing cars

Im curious what steering servo's Alex and the xray team uses. Does it matter how fast the servo operates. Im using a Futaba low profile brushless servo at present. I now a fellow racer who turns the steering speed down on his handset. Im wondering if a faster servo would be better ??

I have generally gone for the fastest I could get (with fairly good torque, 8Kg/cm or so) so that there is as little delay as possible between my inputs and what the steering actually does.

I belive some of the latest radios can make the steering and servo response insanely fast.

At the ETS Alex had a full size Savox servo installed but I'm not sure which model

From the pictures i have seen, Alex is using the KO RSx Response servo.

You can't go wrong with any of the "high end" servos available as all those will have enough torque and speed. To be honest I have tried other manufacturers servos in the past and I was always impressed by how quick the RSx reacts to steering input, as well as the holding power in high speed corners. Anyway. A high end servo with 10kg or more is enough for this application.

Is 10kg of torque needed?? At the moment I have the Futaba low profile brushless which has 9.2 kg. The speed is 0.10 sec @ 6.0v. Im thinking of getting a sanwa servo like the SDX 801 or the SRG BLS any thoughts on these ???

One of the WLRC racers runs a Sanwa with 7Kg of torque and he says it's fine.
