I see Tower has these on sale for Thanksgiving at $49.99, great price on a great servo.

Wow, great specs on the servo and if you are a Tower Super Saver you can get them delivered to your door for $40/ea. if your order totals $300 and you have the $60 off coupon.
If I was a Futaba guy i would be all over them.
Alas, I am not so, I will have to stick to my Spektrum H5000's which have almost identical specs.

How do these compare to the Hitec 5245s. I see they are nylon and have less torque but I have heard nothing but good things about them.

RE: Futaba 9650 digi servo
The 9650 is proven reliable servo in Q40 enviroment. One thing is not mentioned often enough is that great pylon servos, have great centering and resolution. That is more important than speed and torque, as many faster, torquier servos won't center worth a crap and you end up chasing more than flying. This is why you see people recommend the same JR, and Futaba servos over and over.
There is new HV stuff (2cell lipo safe) comming out of JR, spektrum and Futaba down the line. But unless the top guys who had been running them for a while (some are already)endorse them or prove them out I would not go out and try them on at least in a Q40.
Note, unless a servo is designed from the ground up to used higher voltage, it will not last as long. The good is most electronics like higher voltage, and current demands are lower because of it .
