i recently got a mini-max. i have a flash 5x already.
what i need for my mini max is everything. (esc, battery, receiver and servos.)
my question is, how much should i spend on all thsoe items? are there any package deals?
also, if i wanted to upgrade to a slow stick or crazy max in the future, can any of those parts double for both the mini max and the future plane?
please help.
thanks

You can get a GWS, Hitec Feather or FMA micro flight pack for about $85. That will give you your Pico servos, micro receiver, a small ESC (try to get at least 5A) and a fairly useless battery! Some distributors allow you to "build your own flight pack" so you get some choice. You'll do well to get better batteries and later on, for a Slow Stick, you'll need to upgrade your ESC to something rated for ~10A (a Castle Creations Pixie 20P is relatively costly but will serve you well for many later aircraft).

I got the whole GWS radio,rx,pico servo (2), 5 amp esc, and the useless 150Mah battery for 125, and the flight pak alone is $75-85 minus tx,rx, and I swap out between several planes with them, have seen the radio alone for $25.....Rog,,check out horizon hobby
