    Hello, after some advise on what type of motor I should get.

    I understand a servo is the better option to get a smoother wheel but its a fair but more expensive, is it worth saving for the servo aiming for 10-12Nm.

    Cheers

    I consider there are always pros and cons, in this case initial motor cost, but do believe servo is the way to go, in terms of code, support and long term adaptability. Of course you may have other personal criteria.
