Default Digital servos with old futuba radio.

I got an old rc truck I'm thinking about getting going again. I want to put in the traxxas waterproof servos. Will they work with my old futuba sport radio?

Yes, what you can't do is run analog servos with a new radio in digital mode, this proivdes more voltage to the servo which can burn out old servos. Digital servos will be a little slower in analog mode with your old radio.

Thanks. I knew I'd read there was something you couldn't do btw analog and digital servo and radios.
