RE: Looking to get into 3D
FYI, the Evolution engine that comes with the Alpha 40 is actually a .45 size engine, but I don't think it's tuned for high power output. Mine's been a great, reliable engine, but it's power to weight may be a bit lacking for 3D performance.
I have a .55AX on my Mojo 40 and I love it.
Good luck. You are definitely headed in the right direction.
PS: Don't be afraid of building a Mojo from a kit. It is a really easy build.
