I think it's time to upgrade the servos on my still going strong non CCPM Shuttle :D. Shamelessly I'm still running 148's upgraded to 3001's on the cyclic and throttle that I installed when I got the kit over 6 years ago :shakeit
Suggestions for the cyclic and for the throttle. I'm running a Futaba GV1 and will want to stick with Futaba servos.
Tail servo is fine (9253) so that's staying

I like DS 821's. You can buy them really cheap as guys that bought the DX-7 are getting rid of them. My brother is currently using them in my first Heli, a Shuttle. I installed the radio gear for him and trimmed it. I like the way it felt over the standard servos they replaced, 537 standard JR. A more locked in, precise feel, with quicker response. I think the transit time is .18sec @ 60, and torque is in the 70oz range. Tom :)

The reason most get rid of the DS 821's is they are not very good for Nitro Helis, the suffer more than most with vibration and then they fail which results in a crash. :(

Look at the 9252, 9202, 3050, 9255, 9250, 3010 servos.

The 9252 or 3010 will be a good choice just remember digital servos use up battery power faster.
