985 Hitec servo

[redbeard]

I ordered the new HS-985MG servo from Horizon. www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HRC32985s
I talked to Hitec about a week ago and the tech support guy said the 985 was going to be a replacement for the 945. I then saw that the Horizon Hobby site had them in stock, so I called and ordered one. Tower's sie however shows "order pending" status I will see if it shows up or not. I am going to replace the 645 on the front of my TXT with it and let everyone know how it works.
