To set up dig as you were asking you will need at least a 4 channel radio to run each ESC on seperate channels. At least that I know of.

I would recomend getting some metal gears as those motors will probably chew threw the plastic really fast. CVD's? Also perhaps some heat paste for those servos to protect them from overheating.

Looking good so far!

Those motors are pretty torquey. I LOVE mine. They destroyed my R2 gear several times being easy on it only at 7.4 volts

Having a radio so you can set the end points will help as well

The motors that im running on this build I also run on my axial with all the stock plastic gears and have had no problems yet. so I think ill give the stock ones a shot first but if their no good, metal ones will be in the mail the next day.

Also I will be running servo savers on both servos and i think that will help for the most part.
