Default Semi-beginner with some questions...

Thanks for the advice guys.

I went and picked up my radio and it happens to be a Futaba Conquest 4, not an Attack. The battery pack wouldn't hold a charge so I had to spring for a new one.

I also purchased a Slow Stick but none of the other required components. I think I'm going to take my time and build the SS up the way I want it then go shopping for the parts I need to complete the project.

At this point, I'm thinking of getting a Berg4 DSP Rx, Castle Creations Pixie 20, and either GWS Naro or Hitech HS-55 servos. I really can't decide what to do about the batteries and charger. Many people recommend LiPos but I would need a more expensive charger as well. I'm also thinking about NiCad or NiMH as well.

I ordered a cable to interface my TX with my PC in order to train a bit using FMS. I found a SS model to use. I'm trying to find other GWS models for FMS. If anyone knows where to get them, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
