I didnt use the stock servos vary long but didnt have a failure, I just wanted something better. Never had an issue with the radio or receivers. I'm still using the starter box only now it fires my RC8.2.

Buddy of mine recently picked up the Neo Race Spec and he has had pretty good luck with it. I tried to convince him to go another route but this fit his budget. He has been using my RTR truggy box, again without issue.
