But I seem to think that Sanwa does not come out with the high torque VB servos anymore. Cannot find them anywhere...

servos
I'm going to get digitals the day that i fly choppers... Now for car/buggy... The $40 bux Hitecs or JRs are more than good, in fact excellent !
Like I've read somewere; A digital throttle servo is too fast for carburators... it can give you headaches... and for steering I'm always slowing down the response of analog servos anyway...
I have from $144 Airtronics to Hitecs, JRs and Futabas.
My choice at the moment is the Hitec HS-625MG for both T/B and ST; (they use them to steer and race 1/8 buggies!)Less than $40 each. 94.43oz.in torque, 0.15sec speed, metal gears, and to show that they really work now Hitec gives you a no Hassle, no questions asked replacement warranty. if you crack it in a crash you send it to them and receive it repaired or a new one free. (If you send it in 20 pieces inside a ziplock bag they might charge you 20 bucks for a new replacement...)
The $100+ digitals are very good indeed, the KO is a great servo. But you don't 'need' to spend a fortune to have a top notch servo working for you.
This is my opinion

Ummm, that would be digital steering and analog throttle / brake right? They are excellent servos too. Team Serpent uses Sanwa stuff extensively.

Just a thought... The 2344 is meant for high torque and moderate speed. Good for throttle / brake servo duties. For the same price, I would use 2343 servo for steering service. Faster although slightly lower torque. A friend of mine swap the 2344 to 2343 for the steering and noticed a lot of difference in speed of steering input.

PDS-2343 111.oz of torque .08 S @ 60 degrees.
PDS-2344 180.oz of torque .13 S @ 60 degrees.
The difference is the 2344 has 69.oz of torque more and is only .05 Seconds slower.
I don't think I'll notice .05 seconds.
I know I'll notice the 69.oz of torque.
That's why I stick with the 2344 instead of the 2343.

I love having the extra torque.
Here's a quote from the KO Propo website.
"Josh Cyrul used the new EX-10 Helios combined with the new PDS-2344 servos to get him to the TQ position. Ralph Burch Jr. used the EX-1 Mars R and PDS-2344 servo for the steering and PS-2173 for the throttle. "
Ralph and Josh chose the 2344 over the 2343.
Makes me feel like I made the right servo choices.

The speed may be little but there's difference in handling. If you happen to have a guy who has a 2343 servo, put it side by side with yours and see both servos steer and you'll know what I mean.
