Good choice of servos?

Your steering servo choice is great, but I would recomend something with a little more torque for the t/b side only because it has to apply brake presure and it seems like it would be a little on the low side for that duty abd it only showed ratings for 4.8 volts which makes me think that it is not rated for 6 volts. this is the counter part for the steering sevo you have listed and would be a great t/b servo http://www.ehobbies.com/jrpsz9000s.html
 
The Futaba brushless servos are getting a bad rap quickly. A Futaba sponsored driver burned two of those out in one day at my track. Stick with the JR or the Hitecs.
The JR 9000 series is discontinued. Ehobbies is charging too much for that servo.
The JR 9100 series replaced the 9000, they are a bit stronger and have a nice al. heatsink case.
The 9100T will be good for steering and the 9100S will be for throttle.
Check E-Bay, I see them go for as low as 85 bucks NEW some times.
There is nothing wrong with the 9000T though, I have one that refuses to die. It is just outdated.
 
I think you're going further then you need to mate, JR 650 for steering and jr590 for T/B. Less then $100 new and even less then that on ebay
 
Well I am racing a Revo not Bashing a Savage but I will say The JR Z9100,s fit the bill for that nicely.

The JR 8711 with 400 OZ torque would be overkill although I was holding one today :)
