Tbh if my Futaba 4pksr ever dies ill look at a sanwa mt4s or futaba 4pv as a replacement. Hopefully this discussion has helped in some way haha. All the best with the build/builds.
Of course! Suggestions are always helpful! Looks like Ive god a more solid build plan now:

Two separate vehicles - Axial Yeti XL mega rock racer for bashing and XRay XT8E mega truggy racer for racing.

Tekin RX8 Gen 3 plus T8 Gen 2 2000Kv for the XRay. Will semi-waterproof RX8 using warranty-valid method just in case.

Possibly Tekin electronics for Axial but Mamba Monster X (waterproof) plus 2200Kv Castle motor (just because the 1800Kv motor is smaller and rated for less voltage for some reason???) plus ultra-low gearing is more likely.

Sanwa/Airtronics M12S-RS for my ultimate TX upgrade, RX482's will be used in every vehicle I own from here on out.

ProTek RC 170SBL servos for all 1/8th scale vehicles I own.

SMC 4S 7400mAh/149 Amps/90C Lipos for all 1/8th scale vehicles.

10AWG wiring and RCProPlus Supra X S6 connectors for all 1/8th scale vehicles (Ill try them out and if I dont like them, then XT150s all around it is)

DustyMotors protection shrouds for all vehicles I own (does anyone know the recommended size for the XRay and Yeti XL?)

Chassis protectors for all vehicles I own (suggestions for these 1/8th monsters?)

Shock Socks for all vehicles I own (May not run on dedicated track vehicles, I dont think they will help much in controlled conditions, any suggestions for good products?)

Later on down the road, I plan on owning 3 more RC vehicles. I want a 1/10 Scale truck at some point (so many fun competitions out there for those things), I want a 1/10 Scale On-Road scale drifter build, and if all goes well and I have spare money down the road, a 1/5th scale 4WD truck of some sort.

Thats my entire planned RC collection for the future. Not really interested in more than 5 vehicles unless I become rich one day and have money to throw around. All vehicles apart from the 1/5 scale will use brushless setups. The 1/5th scale is my only planned gas vehicle, probably gonna get the monster OBR 46 swap for it.

Let me know if you guys have any more suggestions for my future builds!
