Most MAXXers use the stock steering servo in place of the stock t/b servo after upgrading to something better for the steering... it provides better braking performance.
Stock steering servo #2055 has 80 oz/in of torque. (Traxxas says. I think that's BS.)
Stock t/b servo #2018 has 42 oz/in of torque.
Both have a transit time of .22/60° and plastic gears.
It's all about how much you want to spend for a steering servo. You'll want something with metal gears. A popular chioce for the budget-conscious is the Hitec 645.
