Good Economy setup for EasyStar & Minimag
Hello,
I'm looking for good economy setup which can be used for BOTH Multiplex EasyStar and Minimag.
I'm looking for good inexpensive BL motor, ESC, sevos which can be used with both EasyStar & Minimag with minimum modifications. (MiniMag/Easy Star Power Pack is more expensive and has only 17A ESC)
BL motor & ESC should be in a range with surplus power & rating & allow different propellors.
Is "HXT 2835 (380S) 2200kv Brushless Inrunner" as good as "Himax 2815-2000 Brushless Motor" ? Is it suitable for both EasyStar & Minimag and can fit either without any mounting modifications ?
(Himax 2815-2000 weighs lesser & has more power, but cost 3 times more)
Better than "Suppo 2212/6 with a Suppo 30A ESC" ?
Which inexpensive Brushless Outrunner is recommended for MiniMag & EasyStar ?
How much mod will be required ?
Which servos can be used for both EasyStar & Minimag ?
I read "HXT900 9g/1.6kg/.12sec Micro Servo" and "HXT500 5g/.8kg/10sec Micro Servo" from Hobby City are as good as Hitec HS-55 ?
RTF versions of EasyStar & Minimag include Tiny S servo.
Which one should I buy to use on both EasyStar and Minimag ?
Is "TURNIGY Plush 25amp Speed Controller" OK for both EasyStar & Minimag ?
Better than "Suppo 2212/6 with a Suppo 50A ESC" or "Hextronic 36Amp ESC" ?
Better Choice ?
Thank You.

Userrc -
Per your last post:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8133001/tm.htm
You seem to be doing all your research just fine and know what you're looking for. Honestly, I don't think you're going to find a 'perfect swappable' power plant for both. You'll get close but you're so far 'in' to the hobby now that there is no simple "do steps 1-2-3" to do what you're asking. It's all part of the fun - experimentation. Looking at your options you've posted, your almost getting to the '6 in this hand / half-a-dozen in the other' for comparisons. If you were doing electric pylon racing - THEN this might be more of an issue.
Right now, I'd judge your results based on your first requirement: Economy & Cost.

Thanks. MiniMag/Easy Star Power Pack works with both but is more expensive and has only 17A ESC.
I'm trying to get an economical tried setup which will work for both EasyStar and MiniMag.

RE: Good Economy setup for EasyStar & Minimag
I plan to use 3S 2200mAh Lipo only.
Is this the prop which comes with MiniMag/Easy Star Power Pack: [link=http://www.bphobbies.com/view.asp?id=V748425&pid=S409019]APC 5.5 x 4.5 Speed 400 Electric Propeller - LP05545[/link]
Is it the best choice for HXT 2835 (380S) 2200kv Inrunner + TURNIGY Plush 25amp ESC combo ?
Or should I use any other prop like APC 6x4 or APC 6x5 ?
For build, can I use Loctite Super Glue OR Loctite Super Glue Gel ?
