Buying advice

[kenshin]

Hi everybody !

I'm interested in building the nutball but, since I'm living in France,it's expensive for me to order at hobbyking, so I'm looking for these servos :
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/4x-CYS-S0009...Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e77706371

Would they be ok ?

And what about this motor ?
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/EMAX-BL2215-...Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19db98b45c
with this ESC :
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Hobbywing-SK...Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19dbb3379a

Maybe this would be better :
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/N2830-2212-1...Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19dee5d73d

Thanks

Hi!

The motors you selected are much more power than is needed for the nutball (and for the other swappable plans).

I suggest this one:

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Emax-CF2822-1200KV-Outrunner-Brushless-Motor-For-RC-Aircraft-s-/121140001790?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c3481bbfe

or this:

Also on a side note. I've bought a few things from that seller and the experience I had was excellent. All the shipments arrived from Hong Kong to Canada in just over 1 week.

Thanks a lot !
Maybe I'm asking too much but do you have tutos on how to choose motors / ESC / Lipo. I only found a How to choose props

Thanks again I'll order

A last question about the servos :
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
or
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

would they be enough ? Which one to prefer ?

Thanks again !!

 

[Jamblor]

They should be the same, but I have the hextronik ones so I'd say get those.

 

[kenshin]

Thanks a lot !!!
I have one more question though, would this lipo be ok ?
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I have some doubt concerning the weight, maybe it would be too heavy for the nutball ?

Oh, and concerning your experience with this seller on ebay, did you had to pay some customs ? Did you asked to change the declared amount ?

Thanks again for your precious help

That lipo should be fine, I built one with a 1000mAh battery it was still good.

I never had a problem with customs in Canada with that seller. It's usually marked as 'gift' and the declared value was never over $20. Then again, I've never ordered something from him over $20. And I'm not sure what the customs regulations are in France :S
