Couldn't find it in a search, so I'm going to ask.

What's a really good throttle servo for a z231? I'm pretty much 100% Futaba, so I'd like to keep it with stuff I'm familiar. Would a 9255 be overkill? Is there a recommendation on something else to put on there?

Basically my set up is as follows:

Spectra G w/Tempest Head
9255 x 3 on collective
611 w/9256 on tail
z231 mod 1
GV-1 w/ SG pickup
r5014DPS

Only thing missing is the throttle servo. I have an extra 9255 since I bought them in pairs and I can put that on there. I'd like to keep it as a spare, so I'm open to suggestions.

The faster servos WILL work on the GV 1, but I've heard of several people having trouble with keeping a constant headspeed, or with surging issues.
I've got a 3151 on mine, and I cannot notice a lag.
Use what ya got, or pick up a less expensive servo, there is no real need for one to be lightning fast on throttle.

I try to use servos with the sams speed as my collective servos. I have 8311's on the collective, and a 8231 on the throttle. The GV-1 works great, and I have no lagging or overspeeding.
