I used Tazer 12T Esc'c in my T34, My hobby dealer ordered stock 27 turn ones but the tazer 12's are what came in...He charged me for the stock 27 turns like 25$ a piece. The mixer is a GWS V tail mixer about 15$ I tried using the built in mixer in my radio but it didnt work so well. The whole set up cost me around 65$ really isnt that bad...You could go cheaper with Forward only esc's like the Micro C5 or C10 used on 380-400 sized electric planes, But then you dont get reverse forward only. A buddy of mine said there is a way to wire the sound into the esc's but he hasn't showed me how to yet.
