Default Digital servos?

I want to purchase a digital servo thats on sale ( HS-5805MG ) and I was wondering if there were any special requirements? Is it worth having a digital servo in 1/5 scale trucks, or should I stick with analog? I was not planning to buy a programmer either.

Make sure you have the stock adapter piece that came with your baja or buy one as these servo's are slightly smaller than stock. Digital is great as they run cooler and are more accurate. But as stated make sure your radio system is capable of using digital servos.

if your transmitter supports didital, go digital.

Many more settings than analogue such as EPA (end point adjustment) Throttle Response Curve, Steering Dual Rate etc
