8:1 steering box

[rocetwildone]

Looking to get a 8:1 steering box.
What is the difference in a .250 servo and a .175 servo.
I know .250 is considered heavy and the .175 is considered light.
Does this mean the .175 will steer easier, or harder?
Also is Sweet the only place to get a box, approx. $700 ?

Swet is the only place I know of to get a good one.

.185 will be easier to turn as compared to a .210. If for any reason you need to cut the car fast in order to miss something or recover the 6.1 box would seem a better option. The 8.1 box will give you 2 turns lock to lock the 6.1 is 1.5. JMO

the sweet 12.1 box is like 350 bucks cheaper. put a 2.1 quickener to make it 1.5 turns lock to lock. If you go that route you need the .185 servo or it will be on the harder side for steering.

I ran the 6:1 setup you just mentioned and I found It to be too darty. On a very short track it was ok, but could be a little of a handful on high speed tracks. 8:1 seems to be much better. I've got a 12:1 swet box like new if anyone wants to buy it haha.

Just out of curiosity, are you running any type of power steering, or just armstrong power steering.

Give you $75 for it :)
