i believe the best savings come from the holding power of digitals with the economy of a cored motor..that adds upto a digital hitec. giant scale guys are talking nothing but good news about them. i have many and the programmer that is better than buying a jr match box each time you need to sync a pair of servos..check out the prices at maxx products. they have had the best deal so far. if not go to national hobby and call them to get the secret price too low to advertise. i did the 8411 thing and i think the hitecs are better servos for the money.
