ORIGINAL: LT-40

Sounds like a sweet setup lide. Mine has a phoenix 80 and a mega 16/25/2 brushless motor. I cant wait to fly it!

LT-40
Sounds nice. You definitely have overkill on the ESC but that is ok. Now you won't need to get a BEC to make it go faster I also have HS-81 servos only thing stock on my stryker is the pushrods and the frame itself. lol...have a blast. I am having fun with mine. I forgot I put a BEC on mine.

A guy at the airfield has a radar gun and I got my stryker up to 95 mph. It scoots. As a matter of fact the guy that helped me set my Stryker up is getting ready to have an article published in Model Airplane News. His first name is Mike. I can't remember his last name. Heck it impressive alone that I even remembered his first name. Anyway, this guy has articles in Model Airplane News pretty frequently. He is on the Electric side of RCing. Soooo keep an out. The article is going to be on how to upgrade your Stryke. He was given a bunch of strykers and different ESCs, Motor and so on

Also not sure what type of prop you are using but if you are fairly new to the electric side and someone at your airfield is a electric junky and they have the equipment to test the amps being pulled let them check it out. I had the stock prop on the mine and he took it off after testing it and put a 6 X 4 apc sport gas prop on mine. (put on backwards). It made a ton of difference. Just a tip. Have fun and good luck with the plane and the guts.
