"Analog servos are great for throttle applications in 1/8th scale. The throttle linkage has to be absolutely perfect for digital servos, where an analog can handle being just a little off and not be affected too much. Digital servos have precise centering characteristics and better holding torque which make it ideal for steering but a little difiicult for throttle applications. I hope this helps in your decision."

Wasn't sure how to quote from another thread, and for a loss of time, just did a copy/paste, but Billy T w/ Hitec said the above.

I guess that what he was getting at was that analog are a little more forgiving in setting up a throttle/brake linkage. Since I have taken the time in the past to set up my gaps and epa's properly then I should be ok with a digital. Thanks Espeefan for making me take a second look.
