<<<<Remember...the OEM specifications are derived at a fixed voltage with whatever the current the servo desires from the power supply to determine maximum available torque (this commonly recognized measurement is taken @ 1.0" from the output shaft to move a load a fixed distance). No matter what, the servos in your aircraft will NEVER come close to this.>>>>> Correct, on the 1" measurement from the center of the output shaft. FYI on JR servo testing here at Horizon we test torque ratings with actual JR battery packs, both 4 and 5 cell, running through either a servo tester or a receiver. Usually a 3000mAh. <<<<If your goal is to see the best flight performance from whatever airframe you employ, don't scrimp on the electrical system.>>>> Don't forget the linkage geometry and setup as well.
