Smallfly, If you decide to go brushed until you can get a brushless let me know. I can loan you a brushed speed control until you can find one. I hate to see you spend 20 bucks on something temporary. I agree with basementdweller the GWS works just fine. and if you time it to 0 degrees It will surely last till your brushless arrives and you need the gearbox anyway. I say go for it, hate to see you miss out on a few weeks of flying just because of the delay
