Default Shift and Steering Servo Replacement Suggestions

Both the Shift and Steering Servos on my son's Twin Hammers have failed. It looks like you can order direct replacement servos from Vaterra

Spektrum S6030 = $59.99
903 WP = $26.99


Or is there a more durable option?

Threads about replacement servos are all over this section of the forum.. I was reading through them but its hard to tell

It looks like this one has been used...

Hi Tech HS-5646WP = $54.99

I'm looking for direct replacement... something that isnt going to require a lot of special modifications.

I haven't had any issues with the stock Spektrum steering servo in the v2 Twin Hammers RTR.

Is his the 1st or 2nd version?

I think V1 has the fake lights on the hood and V2 does not.

V1


V2

Notice the remote on the v2 and the different paint scheme of the body panels as well as the lack of headlights up front as mentioned above.

I use a Spektrum a5040 metal gears and 670z torque at 4.6v. I use this one for my shifting. Price was $27.00

This uses the stock servo saver and linkage? Spline counts the same?
