|  What electronics do you guys recomend?
I'm looking into buying one and have searched for a few minutes. What esc/servo/motor do I need to buy? I have a tx/rx. Can someone post the links to some good stuff? I'd like to spend under 120 or so on electronics. Thanks TTTM2 |

Under a $150 buying new stuff. This esc $77 http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...6&cat=2&page=1 This motor $49 http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...7&cat=3&page=1 This servo $19 http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...&cat=13&page=1 For the money and performance you won't find a better deal. |

I bought mine as more of a toy, and I have all the stuff in my comp truck that took me to about the $1k mark. On the Scorpion, I used old parts and stuff I had laying around, but they are all cheap items and it works AWESOME.... Moped V16 ESC $20 Used Integy Lathe 55T $Free (But $20 new, $10 used.) Hitec HS-645MG Servo $20 Used ($40 new i think). Get em here though. Moped ($29) (overseas, 2 week wait, check the vendors, I know SOMEONE else has em.) [http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/produc...ducts_id=16386 Servo and Axiom 55T Motor from JPCustom RCs $22 and $25 http://www.jpcustomrcs.com/home.html I think the only thing I would do different is use a TowerPro 645 if I had to buy one new.... This combo with a 6 cell 2/3A flat pack from CBP will get you about a full hour of thrashing and plenty of wheelspeed and torque. It actually can go just about everywhere my comp rig does, just takes a few more reverse Points and a occasional Gate.  This setup will cost $86 plus shipping, and thats a Elite 1500 2/3A pack, Good Axiom Motor, Good Metal Gear Servo and a tried and true ESC that you won't need a voltage regulator with.

I guess if he wanted to go brushless, but if he's new, most new guys would destroy a stock scorpion with a brushless setup, and those of us who are seasoned a bit, will destroy it with a brushless. I don't think it will handle that kind of power in stock form honestly. Just my .02 cents. | |

Figure if he goes brushed he has to spend at least $80-90 for a esc to get drag brake. If you have to spend that much you might as well go brushless. He was asking for the "good stuff". I understand it might be a bit much power for the axial. He'll learn quick.  |

ive got a hytec fm 3ch convertable to spectrom radio,a hytec ultra torque servo,novak rooster with a 75t motor .the rooster has a drag brake and this radio is an awesome combo.this is very slow and precise without braking the bank.

Weird, I thought the old saying was, "Going Fast Costs Money, How fast do you want to go?" Now we spend tons of cash to go slow and stay stopped.  | |

I would recommend a mamba 25, gws outrunner, and 9 cell 2/3a pack for a fairly cheap intro into electronics. If you dont like brushless, the novak rooster crawler and a 55t motor on 6 cells does well.

The cool BEC will work well in a 2.2 rig.
