As mentioned in the notes above the Cirrus CS-80 was designed for 1/8 scale buggies. Therefore it is slightly larger than the rest of the servos on this list. I am of the understanding that it still fits in the LST fine, but I can't speak from first hand experience on this. Below is a picture that demonstrates the size difference between the Cirrus CS-60, a standard 1/10 servo, and the CS-80.
