[QUOTE=kol;636253]Buy your Stryker frame, including nose and covers, flaps and notify mount. Then buy hk electrics, servos included. The 6 pole parkzone motor is a great motor but you can match it for $19.00[/QUOTE]

You've convinced me kol!

What motor and (metal gear) servos would you recommend from HobbyKing for the Stryker?
Also so I assume that the stock ESC is fine as it is?

[kol]

Nooooooooo, all electrics from hk. The stock esc is great but mega bucks.

Long 3 wire servo extensions or wire and do it yourself or buy the parkzone version. I would use hk as you have to wait on the rest.

Who sells the Stryker parts in the UK Kol??

[kol]

Are you bloody kidding me!!!!????

[coptermanic]

Thanks for the sarcasm Kol, but all the usual places I look do not sell it, like:
Inwoods, Mikes Models, Als Hobbies, Sussex, Slough RC, Channel 4, MyHobbyStore, Kessock Models, Modelmaniacs, Kings Lynn...etc

[QUOTE=Gav;635567]Well you saw my Stryker in action, Mike.
Just beefed up motor 3900kv and ESC 60amp I think. Ebay items or HK[/QUOTE]

Have you got a link to the motor and ESC you bought?
It would be greatly appreciated :-)

[Gav]

Turnigy 2835 3900kv Inrunner Brushless Motor

ESC of your choice

Cheers Kol.
Is the Stryker fuse/wing that much better than the HK Skyfun jet?

[kol]

As I have said, I'm not familiar with that model
Sorry

[coptermanic]

Just done a bit of research on Stryker parts etc:
Cost of parts from antics/f1hobbies = ~ £70
ESC and motor from HobbyKing = ~ £38
Total of ~ £108

New from f1hobbies @ £125.95
or from Servoshop @ £119.95

Kol, Gav, I decided on the JETiger; just fancied an EDF..LOL!!!!!!!!! As you stated, once I get used to it, I can always bling it up!! Think I will re-paint it though, or put some dayglo type flashes on it.
