Hello, I'm hoping that this would be the correct forum to ask this question; if not forgive my ignorance.

Since cruise controls use servo motors to control accelleration, I thought this may be a appropriate question.

How much torque could a cruise control servo get away with at a 12 volt car system?

Let me explain more. If I wanted to try to save some money, and convert a go-cart into a R/C off road desert dune buggy; would a junk yard cruise control servo give me the torque I would need to control the steering?

Given: that there is a decent amount of steering gear/ linkage to make the turn reasonably at lets say 20 mph.

could it handle brake calipers? or transmission shift?

I wouldn't expect them to be able to pull much. They are designed to open a spring loaded butterfly valve which typically takes very little force to open.

Thanks, how about a motor for a electric window?
