losi 8ight 2.0 rtr servos? and telemetry tuning?

[god]

god... i just bought a new losi 8ight 2.0 and I know I'm going to need to replace the servos. just the numbers and brands get all confusing. what would be good cheapish durable servos for it? i want metal gears and prob digital ones but what do you guys think? include links in your posts please.

also the buggy comes with telemetry could i use that to keep an idea on the temp for break in or should i use a temp gun?

another thing.. the caps on the shocks are plastic do they sell metal caps for them? i have a feeling the shocks might bust... is that something to worry about?
I'm new to 1/8 rc so be nice lol

I would just run it for a while and see if anything breaks. Also the telemetry is not very accurate.

Get the metal caps, everything else is fine. As for servos, I have great experience with Savox servos.

For the money it's hard to go wrong with the Hitec HS-5805MG. It runs about $80, has tons of torque (343oz @ 6v), and all metal gears.

If you don't need all that torque you can save yourself some money and get the HS-5645MG. It packs 168oz @ 6v and also features metal gears. These typically run around $50.

I run 2 of the 5805's in my LST2 and I run a single 5645MG in my Ten-T.

ok can anyone provide a link for the metal shock caps?

as for the servo's will I really need to change out the throttle servo? I heard you can put the steering servo on the throttle (because it is a faster or stronger oz. servo?) and buy a new servo and put it on the steering servo. Is there any difference between the stock servos?
