pls advise.

oh ok ok icic.. well:

receiver aka rx- 30 to 40$$ but i think your tx set will come with it
motor- free with plane?
esc - 20-40 $$
servos- 3 for 30-70$$
battery- lipo 2 cell +- 40$$
charger- 60-100$$
crystal comes with the tx set

this is just rough prices, if you take the average prices, you'll be within the budget of 400$$ quite relistically. as for brands to get, lets hear what other pple have to say.
anyone else wanna help recommend brands of electronis to get for Zoombee?

no need reciever lah can't u see "Radio with reciever
Futaba 6EXAP ($189)"

Need to check whether is it brush or brushless Motor and dun get the wrong ESC.

Advise to get a 3-cell lipo maybe 1300mA-1500mA
and get a balancer charger

[aeronautical]

hahaha opps ya ok no need rx..

so if its a brushed motor, get a brushed esc ok Zoombee?

however, if the motor that comes with the plane is a brushed motor under 400 size, wornt a 3 cell will burn up the motor if it runs at a too high voltage? what's your view hengheng?
