High Torque Servos

[Chris 30]

Hi, Is it o.k. to use high torque servos on the F-350 high-lift for shifting gears?

Is there ever an application when HT servos should not be used?

Thanks again

You definitely need it for the steering but using one on the shifting would be unnecessary.

Well, HT servos are more expensive, and they drain a lot more current than standards, so there are plenty of reasons not to use them for everything. If the ESC can't deliver enough juice to keep the servos happy, they might glitch. And you'll kill your battery faster.

It's like using a sledgehammer to tap in nails to hang pictures on. Yeah, you can do it, but it's overkill, and there's a chance it might not work so well.
