If you want to save money and buy a really great servo Hitec 755MG are killer servos, non digital. (Digital although great do have potential problems when bashing)
The other one for me that has been flawless is the Multiplex Rhino Digi4.
I run dual 755s in my trucks that require dual steering servos.

I see. what are e rest of you running in races etc ? i want something reliable. more or less all the servos i am looking are around 100 dollars. so it is acceptable. but I want reliability !! me 2 i was thinking of te rhino for steering and the multiplex titan mg for braking . any other thoughts ?

a Greek racing driver has proposed me the Sanwa range. he is very excited about those but I though that the multiplex were the best as far as reliability is concerned.

What vehicle are you putting it in? Most people seem to run standard sized servos for Throttle/brake although high torque metal geared ones.
All Hitec servos are reliable this is why they are so popular and since Hitec owns Multiplex they have taken many of the qualities of the Multiplex and added the technology to their servos. 2 - 755MGs are about the same price as one Hitec 5745MG digitals but doubled up means much more torque.

In my vehicles I run either the Multiplex Rhino Didgi4 or the Hitec 5745. Both have been good to me.

i am putting them in a contrast 1/5.

ok so I guess either choice is ok. I think I will go for the mulriplex series. rhino for steering and titan mg for braking.
any other propositions are welcome.

Those Contrast's look like some nice cars. Can you post up some pics when you get a chance? :D
