Default RE: Need Help purchasing a 3D Foamy

I think he said he wants to build a 3DFoamy.

A great set-up as we my buddy Josh and I will show you is

Motor: Razor 350 brushless motor
ESC: Castle Creations Pheonix 25 speed controller
Receiver: Berg 5 Receiver (these are awesome)
Servos: (2) Hitec HS 55 for servos and (2) Hitec 56's for ailerons if you want really fast surfaces
There are others, Bluebird's, JR, GWS Pico I hear are good, but I havent had any reason to not use my Hitecs and I have had no problems knock on wood

Charger: Astro 109 (this is a great charger)

Batteries: Thunderpower 3S 2100mah Li Polys work great ( I have some Polyquest 1500's I will be trying soon)

If you want more info on what motor go to www.3dfoamy.com and look at motor options, they will tell you the prop and gearbox needed.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
