hey guys, i have 2 of these on the way --> Hitec HS-82MG Micro Metal Gear Servo 2.8kg/19g/0.12sec

it doesn't say anything about being digital or not. will these work on the merv?
 
i bought a hs81 local and it doesn't work, it works but has a spazm and apparently a non-digital servo doesn't work on the new brushless merv's...

i can also buy a hitec Servo HS-5085MG which is digital. might grab one of those if the HS-82MG doesn't work

these are what look to be my 2 options on Hobbyking site for a replacement. the ones that are affordable and in stock atm.

the servo body can't be more than 30mm, and the width 15mm. the screw holes i can trim if there too big.

I just installed one on my merv. It is a very tight fit and there is a bit of a glitch when returning to the neutral position, but otherwise it works fine.
