RE: which steering servo
You ever notice on a standard FM when you put on and take of the glow plug starer how the servos glitch? With 2.4GHz they are steady as a rock. With standard FM you cannot cut your radio at a track unless you are racing and on the frequency board. With 2.4GHz NO problem as it finds it own open frequency. This is just a few advantages with 2.4GHz. In 3 years of using 2.4GHz the only run away I had was when my receiver pack got low.
With the React made by Nomadio with a push of the button you can check your RX, TX battery voltage and engine temperature. If the voltage gets to low on the RX or TX the TX goes to beeping and vibrating same if the engine temperature gets to high. The main thing I do not like the DX3.0 the only built in fail safe is for signal loose and does not work for low RC battery like the React. This is how I had my only run away with 2.4GHz in 3 years.
I really like my Nomadio React only problem is they do not keep up with the demand and getting extra RX can be all most impossible much of the time. A lot of the time getting the whole radio system can be hard. But you can use some of the slower Spektrum RX with the React.

RE: which steering servo
I've heard great things from guys who own the Nomadio radios. A little rare in my area since no one carries them around here, but I have read some very good things about them.

This seems like a good servo. Anyone ever use one or hear good feedback from it?
Edit: Also I am interested in a rechargable battery for my buggy. I know nothing about them. What should I look for in a good battery?

It doesn't say it's a digital, but I think that all the better servo's are digital nowadays.

RE: which steering servo
I use a FM radio system with EPA etc. In my 1/10scale electric buggy I use an analoge servo. I can't even adjust the trim, cuz I think because the servo is analoge, so forget about EPA. So if you're going to use a digital radio system, maybe you can't use trim and EPA etc. Maybe you analoge servo's won't burn as fast as digital, but they still can break/burn when EPA isn't adjusted properly, right?
Maybe you won't have this problem, but I do.

RE: which steering servo
the airtronics servos are quite good. dont let the fact that they arent digital fool you; they are strong and fast. digital servos have slightly better resolution, but they arent inherently faster and they do burn more electricity. the airtronics servos are very good; i have three. strong, durable, and dont burn much power.
