Default Servo advice Hitec/spectrum??

Hey guys I'm in need of advice, currently I'm trying to get some race level servos for race time only, I have a spectrum 8000 already I haven't used, looking to also get the 6030 high torque, between those 2 are they good steering servos? And finally I have the choice of a the Hitec 7955 that I'm getting, how will I like this servo over time? Will it be durable?

Also how is the 6040 spektrum for throttle? And what is the best Hitec throttle servo.


These are for losi buggy truggy.

And finally, is the 7950 worth the money?

I've got the 6030 and 6040 and I'm completely happy with them.

I've been using Spektrum servos since last October with zero issues. Excellent servos for the money!

HITEC's

Bug: Steering/Throttle (7955/7940)
Truck: S/T (7950/7940)

Been running these for >4 years. I remember having problems a in the beginning due to being an idiot and not setting EPA's correctly. Sent the servo to HITEC and they fixed it in ~2 weeks. Great customer service and great product.

I had the 6040 loved the speed but started to get brown outs
Then I made the mistake and bought the savox even more of a power hog
I'm thinking about a hitech but I'm not sure wit h one
I've heard the use less power
I've also good about the futaba bls451

Sounds to me like I should just get more hitecs. Hm. I got 2 7955s today. So now I wanna ask what's better then the 7955/7950/7954/7940 servos from other manufacturers? I see k o have a hefty price but look like the specs are better. There fast.
