Well, I guess I'll give updates on the Blue Bird BLS-29A here now. I raced with it on Saturday and it still sounds and works like new even after some pretty bad crashes. My ESC only has a 6V/3A BEC which seems to be dying with this more powerful and current hungry servo so I'll be getting an external BEC to use until my new ZTW Beast Pro ESC gets here. Occasionally steering would go out for a few seconds while the throttle kept working. The servo is still fast, smooth, and strong so it must be the ESC. I'll report back on how it works with a better BEC.
