Default Servo dilemma...need more opinions

The used TXT that I purchased came with a Airtronics 94358Z ERG-VR (yep, the 200oz @ .10 sec) and I want to get a matching servo for the rear. Should I buy another? The other option is to use the Airtronics servo in my Savage and buy two new servos for my TXT--perhaps Hitec 5645 at $55 each. The cost nets out to about the same. I am not looking to save money, I am looking to do it right the first time.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Also, is the Airtronics servo digital? I can't find anything that says if it is or not.

Thanks in advance,
jeff

Put the Art. servo in your savage and buy to Hobbico CS-80 1/4 scale servos for the TXT-1... you'll have to do some shaving and drilling on the front brace on you TXT-1 but nothing really servious... they have 343 oz/in a piece and have a .13 transit time so there not slow at all... plus there only 29.99 a piece!!! there the best they'll make you art. servo seem week, lol

Later

Currently, I have a Hitec 645 in the Savage with a 6V receiver pack. It's not the best servo, but it's not too shabby either.

I am in the process of relocating the steering servo in my TXT behind the front axle, so it will have to remain a 1/10th scale size servo. I'll post some pics of that when I am done.

Keep the ideas coming! I appreciate it.

Make sure you come back and tell us how the "servo behind the axle" mod went...I have had some thinking about it but I have not yet begun to fabricate somthing...
