Servos come from a lot of manufacturers, Hitec, Futaba, Hobbico, Tower Hobbies, and more that I am forgetting. I'm not saying a Spektrum servo isn't what you want but you may want to check out tower hobbies website and get a feel for all the options out there. I think they also have a few guides as to how all the components link and work together, it can be confusing when starting out but it's fairly straight forward once you get a handle on it. Tom Where can you find analog spektrum servo? Ryan P.

The receiver will work off of usually the speed controller in your vehicle. If you need to, you can just use regular batteries since the rx (receiver) doesn't draw a lot of power. Most servos will work directly by plugging them into the rx, digitals included. A servo programmer is usually used for precise control to set the end points and throw and speed of throw for each servo, like for rc jets or some high detail scale models, usually not tanks. Now a question for you, do you NEED digital servos? Usually they are needed for airplanes or helis that need constant adjustment and position sensing. Might find an analog servo of similar specs for 1/3 if the cost. I'm no expert but that's what I've pick up for running rc for a while.

Will i need to buy a charger for that battery? Will spektrum digital servos work with the optional reveiver? Do i need to buy a servo programer? Please answer these ASAP. Ryan P.
