Default Re: Simple Pete Daycab

Today I started looking at how I want to do the electronics. I swapped out the standard steering servo that was on the truck for a hitec 645. Then I started laying out the electronics. The fxr is most definatly staying, however I'm not sure about the radio. The truck came with a futaba 2.4g skysport, but I'm thinking about swapping it out for a dx3e (another awesome radio... Just wish it was computerised, but for 100 bucks with an rx I can't complain...). For the battery a nice big lipo will fit between the frame rails, I'm not sure I want, or need, one that big, but that's defiatly where it's going. This leaves me with a totally empty cab floor for light components. I am also up in the air about wether I want a gru or a smaller pinion and higher turn motor (pinion and motor is much cheaper...)
