Hit the search, the M2 has had plenty of discussion here.

And it's not particularly favorable.

+100, I "had" one (key word...... "had") in my XR-10 (came as part of a XR-10 roller).

Lots of discussion (85%??) that, "It's a great idea, very bad execution".

For a MOA, I would suggest the new Holmes mini. It's already decased, small, works well, programs with a Castle Link, best of the bunch.

Alternates are the Tekin FX-R or various Castle Creations ESC's (Sidewinder Micro Pro is small).

Does your radio support dual ESC's & mixing?
If not, look at/get a WantAmix adapter from LosiKid @ OverkillRC.

What do you mean does my radio support 2 esc's? I was under the impression I could use a Y harness to connect them to the rx.

If you're going to run 2 ESC's off a single RX channel, it's sorta a waste. You could do a decent single ESC and split each ESC output wire to run to each motor. It would be 1/2 the cost and do the same thing.

Ideal, for dual ESC's for a MOA, would be a radio (usually 4 channel) that allows mixing of dual ESC's so you get:
Front & rear dig
Front to rear proportional

An alternative (for a simple radio & 1 ESC) would be a servo dig or similar. The dig would allow front & rear dig but not proportional.

I believe HeyOK has a unit you could use.

Not trying to make it confusing, just trying to give options BEFORE you spend money.

PS, for "decent 4 channel radios", I would suggest either a Futaba 4PL or a hacked GT3B/GT3C.

Having proportion would be a huge plus for me but I may just use one esc and DIG switch due to my budget. Idk yet there's just so many options.

m2 is a joke...

I bought one and messed with it for over 2months and never got it to work 100% correctly on a dx3r.

bought 2 esc's and a 4pl futaba..couldn't be happier now.

Another 4 channel radio to consider is the airtronics MT4 does all things needed to run a moa well.
