Default servos for Maxx crawler?

I'm looking for inexpensive and reliable servos to run on my maxx based crawler using my TQ3. I'm running LSTs and I think its gonna weigh around 8 - 9 lbs. I've seen lots of posts on servos and have been leaning toward hitecs, but I'm new to this and don't know what peoples various rigs weigh, etc. to compare to my setup servo wise. I also don't know if my front and rear should be the same, or should I buy a cheaper one for the rear and better for the front? Opinions?

Thanks!
TJ

hitec 645 if you want cheap and reliable or they have several high price badboys with titanium gears that kick out 200+ ounces. run the same front and rear too.

Right! I've done lots of searching. That's why you only see 7 posts from me.

I've read up on the MG995 and they don't have the best reliability.

Will digital servos work / be worth it running a TQ3?

Thanks.
