I don't have any of those RCs, but my Kraton ran 50k/100k/30k f/c/r. Some people run 200k in the centre.
Since you have a decent selection there, just go from there - there really isn't a must-have selection because you tune to your liking. Some people like it tighter, others less so.

Best budget servos for 1/8 buggy? The nanda servos are terrible!! Life r/x pack on its way so I don’t want to go ott on this car, what kg for steering & what for brake/throttle? I’m thinking Amazon specials but what kg can I skimp with.

To be fair, 25+kg on steering is pretty stout. More than i'd throw at it. Personally i run 15-20kg, with more focus on the "fast" part - 0.10 sec or less.
25kg and up, for me, is more truggy territory. No idea about throttle servos though, i don't do nitro.
Also depends on how fast you need it - good budget servo options available on ali, but of course they take a while to arrive. BLS-HV25MG for example,
Stupid fast, and 18kg at 6v - plenty. For me personally, anyway. I ran my pretty heavy Typhon 6s on a 20kg servo, didn't need more. 9imod as well as DMOND (brushless variants) are currently all the rage in terms of budget servos, if you can wait for them to arrive. Otherwise.. I guess Power HD is always a reasonable choice, though not as cheap anymore as they once were. They're decent (somewhat slow though) enough.

this looks like a bit of a bargain? Anyone tried one?
I’ve got a 30kg one for my TRX-4 but not got round to fitting it yet.

I used to buy orangeRX receivers from hobby king for my DX4C & DX3C, is there any others that people use?
-
@Gaz! Are you sure? That’d be fantastic!

Nanda NRB-5 on its way! 1/8 buggy nitro hassle.
must be mental.

@Masterdave I’ll let you know in a few days but I’ll say it’s easy as it’s an SH.21 engine pretty solid budget engine as standard.👍

Quite fancy a nitro hyper 7- anyone know of any rollers? I remember years ago they were £50-£80 & ten a penny! Found all my spares yesterday & it’s kick started my interest.

Every time I fancy taking my nitro truggy out my glow starter is flat- are those AA compatible ones any good? Or any recommendations?
-
Years ago i got 1 of these for same reason

And it still works ok

Could just get something like this and run it from a random lipo, I’d probably use something like this as my main starter nowadays if I still did nitro I reckon.
