We're going in the same direction, somewhat. At the suggestion of my brother-in-law I am also going with the -2mm bulkhead setup and the required parts for that adjustment. There are also a couple of the gensacearespammers 6000mAh Redline batteries on the way. That servo you picked out looks nice. Earlier today I called Tekno with a question about pinion gears. While I had them on the horn I asked about servos. The guy who answered the phone suggested MKS or Protek servos. The MKS HBL550 is a little less than some options and the specs look really good. If only it was available - it's backordered at my local shop and seemingly everywhere but from MKS direct right now.I just got my eb48 2.1, still building it. I’m going with a protek 170 tbl servo and gensacearespammers 6000 mah battery(on sale at a main).
Also added the -2mm bulkhead setup front and back. And going to try the .3 Ackerman and steering bell.
If I go with one of the servos that was suggested, then that leaves only the transmitter/receiver, tires and paint for the body.
On the transmitter receiver detail - My "nice" transmitter is a Flysky GT5.
Anyone know if that'll be good enough to get me going?
I think I'll end up with a futaba 4pm or 7pxr eventually, but the budget is going to have to recover unless the upgrade is (nearly) absolutely necessary.
Tires...my BIL is coaching me through those decisions.
Body & painting - Hoping not to mess that up too bad.
It's coming along....Thanks for the feedback, gentlemen.
