I am putting a steering servo in my Hellfire SS I pick this one up today. do you think it's a little overkill??

DS8711 ULTRA TORQUE SX
Key Features

* Anodized aluminum heat sink
* 403 oz/in torque

Overview
The unmatched power of JR’s DS8711 standard-size digital servo is nothing short of astonishing. But the 8711’s story doesn’t end with its awesome power.

The 8711 also has all the speed, the holding-power and the zero-deadband precision that have made JR digitals the choice of serious RCers right from the start. Plus it’s also the first JR digital to feature an aluminum heat sink section for optimum reliability.

Specs
Type: Digital Ultra Torque
Torque: 347 oz/in @ 4.8V, 403 oz/in @ 6V
Speed: .19 sec/60° @ 4.8V, .15 sec/60° @ 6V
Dimensions (WxLxH): 82" x 1.58" x 1.56"
Weight: 2.36 oz
Gears: Metal alloy

Well i dont think so ..
thats max output ..
you never want to really run anything at the max output allthe time thats why servos fail prematurely .. to much output
i wouldnt be surprized if it last you many years as a matter of fact ..

Good luck

Actually I have been wanting a Hellfire for quite some time, and thanks to a special some one, I received the truck as a gift.

this allowed me to spend a little more on the necessities like the servo

Lunytune,

This is a little off topic but I was wondering why you went with the Hellfire SS over the other popular truggies.

I'm about to get a new truggy kit and am trying to decide which one. My initial choice was the Hellfire SS - looks like a great kit and really well priced - but it doesn't seem very popular. I'm leaning toward the Jammin CRT now, but it's fair bit more expensive.

I've raced onroad nitro and electric for several years and had a monster truck but am interested in trying offroad racing.

Thanks
