Thanks for the shout-out about the weak motorbox. 👍 Wow your servos are really quiet, I use MKS 9767 and no where near as silent, very impressed. What are they and there specs ? Thanks again for your videos and look forward to your maiden 👍

The servos I am using are Power HD B5. They are digital brushless 20kg servos. Brushless servos are know for being quiet. Power HD is a big name brand across the pond. I did a couple of videos on them. I am impressed with them so far, especially for the price.

So you think with the Ga 2000 400kv 18x10 is alitte under power I'm looking at the Ga R but not sure if my efficiency goes out the window? I will be running the stock 18x10.

I think you will be fine either way. The R has a little more punch, the non-R has a better efficiency. You just have to figure out which one fits your flying style better. Get a setup you like and fly the wings off it.

Ga 2000 feels underpowered but with a falcon 19x8 it feels abit better down low torque.
