Rc components used and alternatives to them
Here I'll show you which components I installed and a few alternatives.
The components shown are just examples with which I have had very good experiences. Feel free to try cheaper things to get started. However, it should be said that better components bring more control and performance.

The speed controllerListenelement 1Hobbywing Xr10 This speed controller, from a renowned manufacturer, has everything we need. 60 A maximum current, 2-3 S Lipo capable and numerous setting options. In terms of price, it is a little more expensive but definitely worth the money.

The servoListenelement 2Savöx is one of the best manufacturers of servos. The SC-1251Mg is a small servo that already has a metal gear. It brings the speed, the precision and it even creates 9 kg of force. By the way, this should also be higher. It's all a question of price.

The motorListenelement 3I bought the Emax 2208 1500kv with an excellent system. Like almost all brushless motors, it is available in different speeds. 1500 kv simply means that it makes 1500 revolutions per volt. He has simply proven himself. It has one disadvantage: you have to adjust the main shaft a little otherwise it will drag. Overall, reliable but the performance could be better.

The remote controlListenelement 4The Absima CR3P is, I'm told, one of the best entry-level sparks. For little money you get a great spark that shines with various features. An LCD display e.g. B., makes setting up very easy. I never used some of the features. But you just have to say that I had more control over my vehicles than with a cheaper one. By the way, the receiver is waterproof.

The batteryHere you just have to look at what you need. I definitely recommend you start with a 2S Lipo (7.4-8.6V). More than enough power for starters. An important factor is the discharge rate, which should be at least 25 C. Depending on the motor, I would also recommend a lipo with a capacity between 1300 and a maximum of 2200 mAH. Everything else is simply too heavy and, above all, too big. There is one more important thing. The connection. I have all fitted my batteries and speed controllers with a T-connector (Dean connector).

The speed controllerListenelement 1HobbyKing Brushless Car ESC 2S-4S 60A There are certainly better speed controllers in this price range, but it has a decisive advantage. He can also do 4S Lipos. Over time we can certainly go faster and faster and with this controller we have the voltage to do that. It can also handle 60 A and the setting options are sufficient. Definitely a little cheaper.

The servoListenelement 2Stronger equals better. More force and higher speed. The SAVÖX SV-1254MG is the big brother of the 1251. You can of course also use cheaper servos, but you should pay attention to the force and speed. He should also have a metal gear installed.

The motorListenelement 3The T-Motor F60 or F40 Both engines from T-Motor have more than enough power. I've already driven the F40 with 2450kv. An absolute beast. A must for experienced drivers. The F60 has the advantage that it no longer drags on the main shaft and will also be my next choice in the 1950kv version.

The remote controlListenelement 4Unfortunately, I cannot recommend another Funke. Feel free to try another spark that you can also get in the €10-15 range. However, after that you just want more and inevitably end up with a CR3P or better spark.
