Default Servo for TRF501X - Futaba S3050 or S9452?

I just bought TRF501X kit and am looking for a steering servo. I've narrowed the choice down to either Futaba S3050 and S9452. (I'm trying to standardize the servos and radios w/ Futaba products.) Do you think S9452 is overkill for this application?

Thank you.

I run the S3050 in my 501x, plenty of torque and it's metal geared also

3305 is plenty, that's what I used. Forget the 3050....

Thank you all for the inputs . . .

The car itself is way overkill for me . . . so I may as well go the whole nine yards w/ the S9452 and see how it works, esp. since I can get one for ~$75 from RCMart in Hong Kong. . .

As per Futaba's web site, S9452 is replacement for S9451 which is discontinued.

Should I put a 3305 in mine instead of the 3050?
I have a 3305 also?
