Thanks for the info. I'm going to try and stay with the 3 cell batteries for cost reasons. I found some from Abell Hobbies that are only around $45.00 each and they claim a 30C rating. I've been looking at the Pheonix ESC's with BEC. I may just get the E-Flite 60amp. They are only about $90.00. The new Ice ESC's look good though. I still have to pick up servos also. I'm going to use this one for winter time pattern practice. I'm going to go ahead and do the landing gear mod as soon as I recieve the motor and get the build started.
