Digital or Analog for throttle servo?
Just after some opinions on what you think is better for a throttle servo.
Digital's use more power but are more accurate. Is that accuracy needed on the throttle though?
Steering is another matter and digital is a definite but Im not so sure about throttle?
This is for a 1/8 buggy.
Thanks

look at speed, torque and will it return the carb to the closed postion if you loose power with a rubber band or return spring? the digital will have no problem but the analog you will have to check by removeing it from the package and see how free it moves. if you race dont use the fail safe mode. in nitro the pitman or a friend turns the car off we hope but if its left on and the radio gets turned off the digital servo will be buzzzzin away with full brake till it burns up. i lost a servo and learned the hard way. i run digital servos and will never go back to analog.

Yeah my buddy lost a new 9000S that way. It pulled brake for 2-3 hours before she gave up the fight

No digital dont need to be programmed.
I run an analog Hitec 965 throttle servo in my truggy and have had 1 year of trouble free use.
A digital servo will hold their position with the same strength throught out its entire travelling distance and will hold center more than an analog.
While this is helpfull on a steering servo I dont think that is needed on a throttle servo.
Might stick with Digital for steering and analog for throttle.

I also use analog for the throttle/brake... I don't think the "holding power" is required for this application. I only run digital for steering.

i always run digital in both...
