Should I also get a glitch buster for peace of mind?
Thanks
Not heard any complaints from brown outs with anything other than Spektrum's older gear. Not experienced a glitch with any of my receivers running on 2.4GHZ. The old days with brushed motors, another story entirely. I wouldn't worry about it, build the setup and deal with any troubles if you experience glitches. The 4PK is a very good radio and not likely to experience any troubles with it in your buggy.
Everyone is going to suggest what ever brand they are currently having good experience with when talking electronics. For me, I have had good luck with Airtronics and Futaba servos, just pricey and I do not think they perform as well in their given price points against brands like Savox, Protek and my current favorite, MKS. MKS is right up there with the top of the line Airtronics and Futaba servos, I just like their build quality better on the MKS, about the best I have seen but they are pricey.
