    Differences in servos?

    I need to get a new servo and i have my eye on the HS-85mg. The question it says its an analog servo and the stock servo and the hs-5085ms are digital. Whats the difference between analog and digital in servos?

    Some have no issues with glitching using the analog with a digital radio system, some do.
    Remember that both of these HiTec servos have a single plastic gear that has eventually stripped out for some users.
    Whatever it is I just said... I could be wrong.

    Im getting the Hitec servo cause i can get it in like 3 days. i just want a good replacement until i can get the bluebird servo cause it takes up to 30 or so days to get since its being shipped from over seas. I know they have to be modified to work but what is a good servo arm for the hitec.

    There is an arm by Losi, but I'm not sure of the part number.
    I'd try modifying the included arms... I think the Losi arm is $10.

    Ok heres another question about servos, I know everyone loves the ******* 390, but is there anyone out there using the trunigy 380 max? Would you recomend them. They seem to be in stock right now. I ask cause i plan to run 2 of them if i get them and at the price its not bad at all.

    According to servodatabase the servo is a little on the small side.
