#2
Tech Rookie
I use futabe 9351 for steering and futaba 9451 for throttle/break... they work great and last a long time.

Couple other options would be Airtronics:
94358, Steering, 180oz.
94357, Throttle, 100oz.
Their not digital but they are extremely powerful, fast and reliable. Also about $30 bucks cheaper each.

I run the Airtronics Analog servos in my MBX5
94358: .10sec/200oz - steering (94359 has brass fail-safe gear and heat-sink case)
94357: .07sec/125oz - throttle/brakes (94360 has brass fail-safe gear and heat-sink case)
Most guys just run the 94358 on both as the extra torque helps with braking and the speed of the 94358 is fast enough.
If you buy the Hitec digital servos, get the new Titanium series. They're much better than the older digital servos. I'd suggest the 5997 for both steering and T/B. It rates at .14sec/183oz. BUT, even though the numbers look slower than the 94358 Airtronics, it is actually just as fast (different manufacturer's so how one rates their speed to another is a mute point).
The Futaba digitals are really nice and the new JR and KO digital look real good too.
Check out Carolina's R/C for good prices on servos.

Thanks guys, after all the money I just spent, there was not enoff to buy the servos you are all recomending, so I am settleing on these:
Futaba
S9451
S9350
A guy on the for sale forum was selling some, I am picking them both up for 95 bucks shipped. I hope they will work.
