It used to run well and handle great. basically i want racing spec gear and have about $1000 to play with.
So i was looking at getting:
lrp - sxx comp ver 2 esc
lrp vector x12 (around 5.5)
team orion - Vortex Digital Servo VDS-1409
and radio i was looking at
Futaba 2pl 2.4g Fhss Sport Tx / R603gf Rx N
what do you think of this setup? has anyone got a similar setup or any adivce on these parts is appreciated.
Thanks
Better asked in the official 22 forum...
A 5.5 LRP is way too much motor. If you want to run LRP go 8.5 at the most.
I'd highly recommend the new Orion R10 Pro 2s-3s ESC. Amazing speedo. Really smooth. It's also what Losi's top three drivers use. The new Orion VST Pro motors are also really fast. Evans uses a 7.5 but most guys would be in the 8.5 - 10.5 range.
Futaba makes great radios. I like the KO Propo EX-10 EURUS because it has a really good feel and a lot of comfort adjustments. The Spektrum DX3R Pro is also nice.
