Just wondering, cause I am all analogue forever, but willing to try digital for steering...
I hear ya. But really how much torque do we NEED? Has anybody actually calculated this? I have not. I used to run long ago 3003 futaba servos and the frotn wheels flapped as I turned when going fast. Not good. I have never noticed my 9451 OR my 9550 doing this. Wheels always point where I ask them too.
Also for digital servos, they are much superior to analogue servos in HOLDING power. Analog is strong while moving, but comparitively weak to hold. Digitial holds much more strongly. Therfore if you are asking your wheels to turn for long times (long sweepers) digital will be superior.
