9. ESC - browse through electronics section.
10. Motor - search (I'll be nice on this one though, lathe motor)
11.Servo - again, search
12. Shocks - same as above

We arent here to build your rig for you. Best advice I can give you is to lok at other peoples build up threads and see what they are using. Then make your own decisions on what you think is right for you.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for the day, teach him how to fish.... you know what I mean.

Is the ESC you are talking about and will it work with a TQ3 transmiter.Thanks, Andrew

rockman27 · 01-06-2007, 07:59 PM

Does anyone have any opinions on what servo works good for a winch and what one is good for a K2-3S. Thanks. All help appreciated.

Can any one think of anything else i will need to get this truck running. I am making a list so i just wanted to make sure.

andres-tavares · 01-07-2007, 06:29 PM

most peolple use hitec 645..but they are not the best
you can try some mg995...or just go with hitec...but more powerfulll servos than the 645

is your decison...you can do a search
