I'm planning on buying a Notorious, and from what I've heared, you need to replace the radio, and probably the servo too. I live in the Netherlands, but will probably move to the USA in feb, and I have some questions about the availability of some things. (They are widely available on those cheap Chinese sites, but have good reviews from youtubers and forum members. I don't want to buy stuff from those Chinese sites.)
What radio should I get? (< $100, preferably < $80)
I've heared a lot of good things about the FlySky FS-GT5, but I don't know where you can buy it in th USA (I don't want to buy stuff from Banggood and those kind of sites). In Europe, you can't seem to buy it, exept form those Chinese sites.
If you can't get it form another site, what other transmitter should I get? The TTX300?
What servo should I get? (< $100, preferably < $60)
A lot of poeple seem to like the Savöx SW-1210SG, but I think it's a bit expensive for me. I've heared JX-servo's are good quality, and very cheap for what they offer (30+ kg servo for <€50), and I can get them in the Netherlands. But can I get them in the USA too?
Also, if not, I could always spend some more for the 1210. But it's taller than a normal servo. Will it fit in the EXB servo mount?
I could also get the 1212SG, wich is even taller, but waaayyy more powerful for +$5. Would that fit in an EXB servo mount?
What charger should I get? (< $120, preferably < $100)
I found the SkyRC D100 V2, wich has some great specs for the price. It also has some good reviews, and I have asked about it in another forum. Should I buy it now? In the Netherlands it 'only' costs €105 ($120), and it is widly available.
It's a dual LiPo charger, capable of charging 1-6s LiPo/LiHV batteries at up to 10A. It also has storage mode, wich is a must-have when using LiPo's. Also, from what I've heared, it's reliable.
