Receivers & Servos
What is a good receiver to go with to replace the original in the Tornado bb pro..Do you need to change the servos on these as well,the servos look like a futaba but hispeed h3003.
I have heard about the hitec ultra torque steering servo and the novak xxl receiver..will these work with the original Fm radio......

yes spektrum is the way to go. They also have a special right now for another month or so, purchase a radio and an extra receiver get another free, purchase a radio and 2 receivers get 2 for free. not a bad deal.

Went with the Dx2.0 and I must say wow...The range is unbeleivable and the ability to adjust Your EPA to 125....I kept the the original s3003 servos until they strip then i will replace with the newer race servos.All in all pretty happy considering i sold the fm radio and receiver that came with the tornado for 75.00 bucks and got the dx2.0 for 139.99 my lhs matched thebarnfloor pricing.......Thanks for the replies.......J

how does this work???..so I buy a radio and reciever and an extra reciever and they send me a reciever??...for a total of 3 recievers?....or do I have to buy all 3 recievers and they give me a refund???....and if I buy 2 xtra recievers that would give me a total of 5 correct?

If you buy radio and extra receiver you get 1 free by mail for a total of 3..If you buy 2 receivers you get 2 free thats a total of 5.....The kicker is the dx2.0 I bought was robbed of the sr3000 receiver so he gave me the sr3001 wich is way better.......You will love this setup......
