RE: Another Happy Striker owner
EDIT: I WROTE THIS POST AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THE STRYKER IN QUESTION WAS A F-27C AND I MADE A MISTAKE IN ABOVE POST WRITING ABOUT F-27B.
maiden-crash, thanks for catching that buddy.

440GTX,
FOR F-27C ......
maiden-crash is 100% correct, go for Hitec HS81 or better yet HS81MG (metal gear).
HS 81 will be great in flight, but may strip in a crash. If you buy this, also buy a gear set so you don't have to have down time after a bad crash while you locate a set or wait for your LHS to get some. I stripped many sets on a Zagi while I was learning to fly.
HS 81MG is still perfect after most normal crashes. This one gets my vote.[8D]
This time I tried HS 85 MG, but never again, it is not needed. Even on 6V it is slower than HS81 on 4.8V. The extra strength is not needed in a Stryker even at 100+ MPH. And it costs more.
