RE: using a 9g servo for throttle
i have used the hxt 900 (9g servo) for a number of engines, mainly .46's but ive used it on a magnum .91 fs and it worked just fine.
some of these servos are over a year old and still working great as throttle servos.
one thing i do use is thin wire for most of the servos so its much harder to transmit vibration through and damage the servo
