Re: Help ! Totally confused
I would try to get just a 2s, skip the 2p as they don't balance well. Go straight 2s. Turnigy has done me very well.

Need info on using wiper motors

Re: Major glitching on 2.4 gHz
I had one that fits, used it, then went out and played. Worked fine for awhile, then a different servo cooked. Just ordered a whole set from HobbyKing.

Re: Electrical question
Another option would be to purchase a Castle BEC Pro, a heavy duty voltage regulator and is programmable. Two power outputs. I don't think you need all that, but it is an option.
