Opinions on Futaba S-5301 for steering.
Hey all, cooked my Hitec this morning and I am in need of a new steering servo.
LHS is out of Hitec 5745MG and won't get them till Wednesday. They do have Futaba S-5301MG in stock.
Anyone use this servo, and if you have is it any good?
Should I wait on the Hitec to come in or are they comparable? The Futaba actually has more torque, but is it reliable?
Heck, not like the Hitec was.

The futaba will be MORE reliable. when you install it check your steering for smoothness (no binding), The hitec digis seem very susceptable to the binding issue and make sure you set your edpoints (epa) correctly.
