ORIGINAL: I will follow Dave and Rog's advice about the radio. I will buy a good one and probably sooner than I had expected to. Do I understand correctly that a 6 channel set comes with 6 servos? And if the servos get pulverized at some point you can get replacements for the same radio? Thanks again for the help.
Fred-
A six channel radio generally only comes with 4 servos. Extra servos are about $13US and you can always get replacements. Servos are actually pretty durable and usually don't get "pulverized," even when everything else does. You do need to check them closely for damage after a crash because you don't want them to fail.
I'd still rethink your engine choice. I've not heard many good things about GMS. You want something that you know is reliable. Give some thought to the new SuperTigre engines. They're supposed to be pretty good and reasonable as well.
