Default Servo Questions for HBK2 Again

I know this subject comes up a lot but for my own peace of mind what are the best Servos for the HBK2 ? Can I use the reversing cable if I go with HH55 ?, I am using the stock TX. Also if I wanted to can I just buy better gears for the servo I have.

Personally, I just recommend you go with the futaba 3114 instead of 3 hs55 and 3 reversing cables (if they work). Cost is similar and much simpler.

Why not just use the Futaba S3114, it's a better servo anyway. I've never even been able to find gears for the Esky servos, let alone better gears. I don't think the reversing cable will work. You can reverse the servo direction on the tx and that doesn't work, looks like the cable is the same thing, Do you have more info on it.

Thanks, So the Futaba S3114's go right in no problem, plug & play? I will order some from Tower Hobbie when I get home from work

yep, no problems with it. all you have to do is trim the "futaba" tab off the side of the servo to receiver lead. an exacto knife and 20 seconds will do it.
