Torque Talk
The higher a servo’s torque rating, the more power it has to push and pull the steering system’s linkages. That extra power is especially welcome for larger, heavier models and their larger, heavier tires. The extra heft and the torque required to muscle it around also puts a greater load on the servo gears. This is why Traxxas upgrade servos have metal gears. Servo torque is measured in ounce-inches and indicates the force that the servo can apply via a one-inch lever. If you find that hard to visualize, no worries—all you need to know is the higher the torque number, the more powerful the servo.
A 400 oz.-in. of torque should be capable of lifting 400 ounces with a one-inch arm.
