RE: Which AXI for shockflyer
IM NO ELECTRIC GURU...BUT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT SINCE ALL THREE ARE THE SAME SIZE, IT MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WINDS AND TURNS OF THE WIRE ON THE ARMATURE...BUT THIS IS ONLY WHAT I KNOW FROM MY RC CAR DAYS ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO. I COULD BE ENTIRELY WRONG. ALL I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT I BOUGHT THE RECOMMENDED SETUP FROM HOBBY LOBBY AND I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE PERFECT SETUP FOR THIS PLANE. EXCEPT FOR GOING TO 3 CELLS MAYBE. 3 CELLS IS ridiculously OVERPOWERED. MAKES THE PLANE LOOK LIKE A ROCKET ON VERTICAL LAUNCH. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY NOT RUN THE 10X4.7 PROP ON THREE CELLS, MAYBE A 9XLOW PITCH, BUT IT SURE IS FUN.

RE: Which AXI for shockflyer
I have several shockflyers with AXI2208/34, AXI2204/54, Hacker B200 Baby, all using different servos, rcvrs, speed controls, etc to evaluate them. I am going to try CDROM 18 turn and Nippy 0508.
My favorite setup now is:
Edge 540 Shockflyer
AXI2204/54
JETI 08 advance
HS-55 servos
Kokam 2 cell 340 (tight space indoor), Thunder Power 2 cell 860 HD(indoor/outdoor), Kokam 3cell 340 (be careful w/throttle and amps! for shocking vertical)
APC 8x3.8 or GWS 8x4.3(changes pitch at high rpm)
Carbon fiber card stock for various stiffners (hobbylobby)
Weight 5.8oz to 6.2oz with landing gear.
I have found flying weight is the key. Very light planes don't break when hard crash.
