TLR 22SCT build out recommendations
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2014 6:27 pm
Hi guys,
I have a thread here on an R&D project we are doing, destined for this forum: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=34807
Part of it is to build out a TLR 22SCT, so I am asking for your help in reviewing my choices of electronics. This is not for racing, the goal would be a balance of longevity, reliability, quality, and lastly speed just for a bit of fun. My company gives 100% of its profit to charity so I do want to be a good steward of every dollar we spend. But I also need to ensure quality because it's going to get a lot of use. The visibility that can come from a project like this would allow us to do much more, and likewise give a lot more.
Here are my choices, please let me know your thoughts and if I missed something we will need to finish up the 22SCT:
* Novak NOV3337 EDGE 2S combo with 17.5 motor. This is $175, would there be a better way to go for this? I'm guessing today's ESC's have all sorts of fancy programmability I'm not going to need since I'll ultimately have our own hardware sending the ESC its signals. But if this is a good buy for the money it's fine with me.
* Futaba 3PRKA with R203GF receiver for $70 at amain. It seemed like the simplest possible decent radio. I know other brands are popular these days, but they all looked too fancy to me with big LCD displays and things. Is there a better bare-bones radio that you would recommend?
* Savox SC-1258TG servo. $70 seems pretty steep to me for a servo but I need something that will hold up. Any others to recommend for this application? Futaba? I read this one can need a special extra capacitor to resolve jitter. Is there a good solid one with reasonable performance that would not require additional help?
thanks all, this is a great forum.
