I realize that you have bought a 1900, just want to reiterate for that don't know. This subject comes up all the time.

As for servos, Futaba has never done me wrong and I've been using their products for almost 20 years. KO Propo are also very solid, their high end servo are probably the best in the biz, but at $150+ each, I'll pass but everything they make is also quality. I've had good luck with Radiopost servos as well. Hitecs, well I hear fairly good things about them these days, but after having about 8 or so of them fail on me some years back I've steered clear of anything but their micro heli servos.

Yes I loved my mugen mbx-4xr works was my favorite mugen so far. I had a 5 pro-spec and a pro-spec 5 truggy. I am excited to be back in again with the 6 eco. I can't wait for the 7 eco.

Ok I am to the transmitter now. Can I get suggestions? I am looking at futaba 4pl or a 3pm-x. My friend is pushing the 4pks but that's just so much money.
