Thanks again guys. I ordered a Bluebird 6v servo last night that looks perfect for my needs (good torque, low response). Planning on buying this rc setup http://www.modelsport.co.uk/etronix-pulse-f.h.s.s-ex3g-2.4ghz-steerwheel-/rc-car-products/38734 I can't find any specs about it but is it safe to assume I won't blow the receiver up?

Cheers for that! I'm on a tight-ish budget but the thought of having to run high power servo and rx was making me scared of what my budget might become. Are most recievers just 6v or so, i'm finding it hard to get proper specs. I'm only looking at budget sub

Quick question if anyone can help, I've just confused myself. So I'm going to be buying 2S lipo, but I can't find a servo more than 6V, 7.4V rated ones are sparse and expensive. I then looked into what i'll be running for my transmitter and reciever and they are mostly low voltage rated too, less than 7.4 I've read a few threads and the way to repair it is with a BEC in the middle? But that can require all sorts of splicing, or a seperate pack altogether, and will clog up my limited space. My ESC has a 'built in 6V/3A' BEC, does this mean it will automatically drop the voltage from my battery to my reciever and servo through the ESC so I don't blow everything up? The ESC is the SKyRC Cheetah 60A, paired with the Cheetah 13.5T motor. Further, I assume this doesn't mean I can't run 7.4 at all on the ESC, it won't just turn all voltage down will it? That would be a bit of a pain. Cheers

Motor and ESC are now paid for and also on their way. Should get them Thursday. Opted for the SKYRC Cheetah combo, 60A brushless, sensored ESC, with a 13.5T matching motor. Now I'll spend the rest of my night looking for a relatively inexpensive servo

... Is on it's way After about a year of salivating over Soul RC posts I'm finally financially secure enough to have a go at this! I used to run touring cars when I was 13-16 until my local track closed down in Milton Keynes. Since Soul moved in up the road last year I've really wanted to get into drifting. I ordered my MST MS-01D chassis today and it's now making it's way over here from sunny Thailand. Should be with me in a week or two. I'm currently selling up a few bits and pieces and waiting for payday to fund the electronic bits now. I'm planning on going with a Speed Passion V3 MMM motor 13.5t with the reventon r ESC. Servo wise I'm leaning towards RC OMG but if anyone knows a similar one a little cheaper please let me know! Recommendations more than welcome, looking at sorting motor/esc/servo for under

Hey all about to order my Sakura D3 from RCMart, I'm going to order my chassis hop ups at the same time in one hit before I arrange a motor/esc/servo. My shopping list at the moment is the chassis, a front one-way and belt tensioner. I'll be running on carpet (the build is being made specifically to run at Soul RC) and I've heard that the standard CS setting is very aggressive for carpet and will be touch for beginners. I used to race touring cars and drift 50/50 but I imagine the 2.14 CS will be a bit too much for me to handle. I see a lot of people are running 1.7-1.8 CS and that it's a pretty good sweet spot, especially for this chassis. I was just wondering what parts I should buy to convert the chassis into this sort of CS rating. Again, online I see a lot of people leave the front end pulley stock and change the rear as it's tiny stock, but I have no idea which pulley they switch too. Also finally I'll be running a 13.5T brushless setup, do you guys think this is the best way to go and if so which pinion shall I order as they are mega cheap from the states Cheers chaps hopefully see you on track in the coming weeks.

Cheer's for the guidance Teshi.

Dang did not realise mst did an rtr. What's the electrics like, doesn't seem to have any specs on the site? Won't be free this weekend to nip down but I might pay a visit the one after and look into picking up a chassis whilst I'm there...

Alright! Haven't driven RC for about 4 years now, had a TT01 as a teenager I used to drive up my local shop/track in Milton Keynes but that shut down Soon after I passed my driving test and started messing with real cars, so my TT01 got sold on... Now I'm having to give up my car because of university, and with Soul RC opening up 30 minutes away, I figured why the hell not, let's build another RC to keep myself occupied I'm pretty much sold on the Sakura D3, I'm on a bit of a low budget so whilst I'd love to go all out and go with the MST MS01D, the Sakura is
