From reading a bunch of this thread, and doing some research, I think I am going to get a Jeti DS14 now. Unless someone can talk me out of it. But I can order it with the RX I want and it will still be cheaper than the new Spektrum Stealth. It also has more features out of the gate. I am wondering about the style of the trim tabs though. Just push buttons in an out of the ordinary location. I really like the RX offerings of Jeti though. That is another issue many of these manufacturers are missing the boat on.
you are 100% right on the JR servo comment. Greg Hahn wrote a really good article in " Safety comes first" in the AMA mag a few years back when higher voltage was becoming popular . I check all my servos used if they are 5+ years old.
