Steering Servo?
 
Whats better? Dual Hitec HS-5925MG servos or a single Airtronics 94359Z?

The specs of the servos are below. The 5925mgs are really fast and 2 of them are plenty strong. But, I'm wondering if its worth it to change to a single Airtronics 94359Z servo? Worth the weight savings? Or just a waste of time. Anyone running the 94359? I'd probably switch to the proline single arm steering setup if i do go with the single servo setup.

HS-5925MG
Torque 6.0v : 128 oz. - 9.2 kg.
Speed 6.0v : 0.08 second
Size : 1.6"x 0.8"x1.5" 39 x 20 x 38mm
Weight : 1.97 oz. 56 g

Airtronics 94359Z
Speed: 0.10/60 deg (@6.0V)
Torque: 200 oz-in (@6.0V)
Size: 1.54"x 0.79"x 1.47"
Weight: 2.19oz.

The dual 5925s are 25% faster and 25% stronger than the single 94359, but weigh almost twice as much. Will I notice a difference? BTW...I could go w/ dual 94359Zs. I got a killer deal on 3 of them so I have them just sitting here and Im tring to decide how best to use them. Would 2 of the 94359Zs just be a waste?

Oh yea... On a G2R revo.

One 359 is enough imo. What are you doing with it that you need two? I run 925 and 945 digitals in my 1/8 buggy and emaxx.

The airtronics are great servos. I have an old 157 that still wroks fine. I'm thinking of getting a new 359 for my truggy project.

Yeah, one 359 should be plenty. Save the other two for other trucks or if/when the one you use wears out. Two wouldn't be necessary.

I've found one strong servo works better than two smaller ones. There is a good chance of having dual servos slightly misadjusted and will fight each other somewhat causing unecessary battery drain. If you get them just perfect, you will be just fine.

Thanks for the input. I just ordered the Proline single steering arm. Gonna go single 94359.
