What servo is it for?

I have hundreds lying around. Also depends on what length and type you require.

Actual servos, one is a steering one and the other does the throttle etc.. the servos i have work fine but the mounting tabs have broken off so they dont stay in place properly, bar plastic welding/gluing them in theres not much I can do about it.

For the steering you want a relativley high torque one, a high speed is also a bonus (then you can adjust your steering rate on your transmitter to suit how quick you need it).

For the throttle you want a really quick servo, obviously for quick throttle response. IF your not racing you probably won't notice the difference though.

It depends how much you want to spend. The Ace R/C high torque servos are around £65. They have a decent amount of torque and are still fairly quick. The added bonus is they are 'waterproof' (just don't get putting them in the bath for 15 minutes).

I ran a pair of these in my 1/8th truggy and they were superb (used them for racing).

Like i say, it really depends how much you want to spend. You can pay anything from about £5 to £130+ for a servo.
