Looking for a few recommendations to finish off the Buggy.
What do you recommend for a steering servo for the buggy? Tough, quick and high quality.
What about a Motor and ESC? - Brushless system
Size of Lipo battery? - 3S/4S/6S - mAh
Look forward to receiving the kit ~2/15/16
Your help is much appreciated.
You will get a million answers to these.
Servo-Personal favorite budget friendly servo Hitec 7955 ($99),
I used it for 4 years before eventually selling it.
Motor and esc- Tekin gen2 rx8 and gen 2 t8 1900kv ($290)
Budget Friendly a hobby wing combo with a similiar kv motor
Battery- 4S 6950mah Trinity Revtech or 6500mah 4S SMC
Hope this helps. Again you will get a million opinions. Another thing would be to go to your local track and see what the faster guys are running in your area.
