I tried to keep it per the original design and use stuff that I had around the house. A friend gave me the ESC and I had to order the motor and prop. I do have 2 other electrics T-28 and Zaggi both brush-less. I pick this build because I would not have to cut and sand ribs. I did increase the nose to compensate for the lipo battery per the instructions. It was an easy build and looked cool.
