Okay,next time I'll choose to grab the XQ-S4020D instead. LOL

Warbird aircraft usually demanding more powerful and durable servo,brushless would be perfect, metal case. right??

War birds tend to have smaller control surfaces and don't need as much throw. So the higher torque servos aren't always a must but for $5 difference I would be going the higher torque. Don't make the servo work as hard as it has to

Perhaps not a question of whether the torque is really needed, but more about looking at the overall benefits as a whole.

Yeah,it sounds quite reasonable this way.....
Maybe days later I'll be influenced to be torque-thirsty too. LOL

Hi my name is Phil and I am also torque-thirsty. Until I start breaking control surfaces I prefer to err on the overpowered side for servos. Blow back sucks. I've seen it in full sized helis and my Rc planes. What we need is higher torque and larger output shafts. I've had aluminum clamp on arms stripping out.

Metal gear is a must... Vibes are not easy on servos.

Out of curiosity what's the cost difference increase from 187 to 305oz-in?

Both the XQ-S4013D and XQ-S4020D servo are durable titanium gears.
perform well and extremely reasonable prices.

The 305 costs only 5USD more than the 187oz-in. maybe it's another reason why they are delighted in torque-thirsty. LOL

yes it's quite reasonable to choose high torque servos for demanding rc like 3D stuff,but for common 50cc planes, 187 oz-in is enough to cover. It's a little crazy to choose a 305 oz-in.
