How much to turn 3.8 mashers with 1 servo? I bought a roller that came with 2 servos rated at 244 oz/inch each. Can I take one out or should leave them both in? Thanks!

You should be fine with one... good thing about having both is that you can test it!
Whatever it is I just said... I could be wrong.

That would depend on your driving conditions but 244 will work fine!

I thought the 2056 was stock... making stock torque out to be 160 total at 80 a piece.

I'm not sure what brand. I'll take a closer look when I can. It's got brown, red, and yellow wires (maybe that's unique to a certain manufacturerer?) and thE guy says its 244oz @ 6v.

Guess that is another difference between brushed and brushless.

Hmm well I contacted the PO and he said its a PPP servo, which seem to get mixed reviews. But I tried it out and it works great as a single.

244 oz/in isn't enough really, I got mashers on my Emaxx with a 250 oz/in and in soft dirt it don't steer so well, with the badlands on its great. the only other thing is with a 300 oz/in your steering is nice and quick but the servo saver wears out so fast, i've went through 2 this summer, I need an Aluminum one.
