thanks for your reply and all your help. I am learning quite a bit.
I found a Spektrum DX3-S with DSM2 radio and receiver NIB for 179.99 Good Deal?
What do you think about the Mamba Max Pro ESC with 5700kv motor? With the info you gave me about LIPO's, I am calculating that I will need at least a 2s 25C 5000mah Lipo for this motor and setup?
