5.5kg/cm enough torque?

[Mattwarner]

My LHS sold me the wrong servo as I'd asked for a high torque low profile and the guy told me this one was 8.0kg when I got home realised it was only 5.5 @ 6.0v, will this be enough for my genesis? It was the only low profile he had in stock so if it isn't up to the job I will have to take it back and find something on the net.

Thanks

That's 69 oz/in, which is probably borderline for that hull if you are getting a lot of speed and have a deep rudder. It may work, but I'd rather have closer to 7 kg.cm.

Thanks think I will get a refund and get something better
