OK I will remove the heatsink then instead of buying another ESC.

For the servo one of the Savox servos is on the way to me, if the heli guys are right this will be the same as a Futaba 9650 with some improvements. This means middlepart of the case made from aluminium and extended voltage range. Beside this same specs and dimensions as the 9650.

After searching on the Net Iīm still unsure what tires to choose for carpet. I donīt want buying a box of tires right at the beginning. Is there a tire combination what should work on any carpet track? I think we will have medium to highbite carpet from what I hear. As for brand I will go with Jacos, these seem well priced and the easiest to find here. Any suggestions? If this is important I will run a 9.5T brushless as this is the new spec motor here replacing the 19T brushed now. But should be somewhat faster than 19T I think.
