Hitec 5955 and 5995 differences
Happy I found this place. Tons and tons of good info. I see I'm not alone on this Genesis. 
Lastest issue for me is the steering and the place I purchased by Genesis is saying they use the Hitec 5995 but I see others use the 5955.
Only differences I see is the steering arm on the 5995 is aluminum and the 5955 all seem to come with a plastic arm. Pro's/Cons to that?
I also see these are programable and come set with 180 degree. Do I need to adjust this for my genesis steering? I'd hate to have to buy a programmer too as they look to be over 100.
Thanks all!!
Ken

RE: Hitec 5955 and 5995 differences
I'm not sure about the servos you mentioned, but...
After my Genesis LE steering and throttle servos failed (one electrically, one mechanically), I swapped them out for Hitec 5645 digital servos. The difference in steering is amazing. They are fast, smooth, and powerful. I read that they consume more power, but I haven't had any problems with a 1200 mah receiver pack and several tanks of driving on one charge (I gave up before the batteries did). The servos were good to go, drop-in replacement, with no external programming. For one or both servos, I think I had to reverse them via the transmitter. I used plastic arms on both servos.
