Default RE: Need new cyclic servos.

Howcome the 3151 instead of the 3152? According to the Futaba chart they recommend the 3152, while the 3151 is only "compatible." The 3152 is a bit slower but much stronger, which makes the price confusing, as its cheaper than the 3151. I would have thought stronger servos are more expensive.

Or then the 9202s. They are strong, coreless, and recommended by Futaba as well. Tower has 3 for 144.47 deal, which basically is just what my budget would allow.

I can probably afford to spend a bit more on the servos, not much over 50 a piece though, so if there are other suggestions i'll look at them as well. Nobody has any JR servos to recommend? I'm not picky on brand. Price and performance and reliability is all im interested in.

Oh, it just occurred to me that i have one extra servo which i could use until i decide and buy a new set. Its a Hitec HS-525BB. According to this site its pretty much better than the one that broke. But its not digital, and of course its not the same as the others. Could i use it anyway? With the Hawk Pro .30 its not eCCPM, just mechanical mixing so i don't think mis-matched servos is a real problem. Of course i could put the Hitec for throttle and use the throttle as the Aileron so all the cyclic servos match.

Thanks for all the help.
