For the radio system i need a pistol grip style, 2.4ghz, 3 channel transmitter/receiver combo. it needs at least 10 model memory, trims AND dual rates, and some kind of display to show me how much battery life i have left ((weather it's transmitter or car battery life left, preferably both)). i don't know if it's possible or where/how i would find it, but if the controller could take rechargeable batteries and/or be charged that would be a huge plus, although not totally necessary.

As for the servo, it needs to be a 6v/7.4v all metal gear servo ((titanium, steel, or generic "metal gear")), and get .10 second travel time or better with 150 oz/in or better ((although i'd like to use the same servo for 1/8 so i REALLY would want 180-260 oz/in and 0.10 travel time or better)) i'm open to any of the major servo brands, although i only know of Savox, Hitec, and futaba [{(HOLY PISS, hitec HSB-9360TH perfect specs, me-wantz, but at $180 on tower i 'bout soiled myself when i saw that price)}]

budget is $200 for both, hash it either way you want, but $200 for both

http://www.hobbypartz.com/79p-ct3c-3...lcd-green.html 3 channel radio with rechargeable battery(can be charged) has 3 channels 10 model memory, bonus is if you go this you get $150 spare to blow on a servo so I'm sure you can find one easily to your specs


Or you can pop this http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store..._mAh_V3_0.html on any radio (has a separate part for the vehicle) if you want to know battery voltage, MAH, and motor temps. Been tempted to try it as I think it could be very useful when initially setting up an electric vehicle

is the FS-GT3C better than the FS-GT3B? are they the same besides the recharging ability? is one better than the other?

anywhere you can source me one of those hitec HSB-9360TH servos for under $150?

GT3b vs GT3c

same electronics
GT3c has ball bearing on the steering wheel
GT3c uses a single cell lipo
GT3c uses more refined and durable buttons and switches

both can be hacked to support up to 8ch with a ton more features

Solar D771 for the servo. Leaving a little in torque but if you run it at 7.2v it might handle your 1/8 needs if it's a buggy.

I like the Airtronics MX-V though I don't own one. I've owned a Futaba 3PL that would do all you need. Just a few transmitters that might be worth a look.
