Default Servo's / Receiver's / Transmitter's

Okay, so I am set on replacing my servo's ... going with Futaba's:

S3004 - Standard Ball Bearing Servo (for throttle) $13.99 (at LHS)
S3010 - Standard High-Torque Servo (for steering) $24.99 (at LHS)

My question, are our receivers and transmitters really that bad that we should purchase other one's?

Or would it be sufficient to just replace the servo's?

I'm hoping to do this tomorrow and this weekend.

Thanks!

just use the servo's for now, if the transmitter or receiver goes bad then just by a radio system without servo's.

Actually I went all out ... went to LHS, they didn't have a compatible 27mhz receiver after my soldered on wire snapped so I bought a whole new setup:

Futaba 2PH transmitter
R122JE AM receiver - 75mhz
Receiver Battery Box
1 - Futaba S3003 Servo (for throttle)
1 - JR Z650M High Torque Servo: Metal Gear (for steering) 142oz of torque for the larger wheels & tires

From just pushing it around, man what an improvement and I will run it today to see how much better this setup will really be.
