RE: Servo question
I have had bad luck with hitech servo's. I have went with three Multiplex rhino 4 servo's using the KPD alloy radio plate. I bash very hard and have not had any failures.
I currently use an Airtronics M-8 with Spektrum receiver and will upgrade to the M-11 when it arrives. It is sometimes better to purchase your electronics separatley since lower level servo's are provided in kits.
