I'm just about to place my order on the XB8, RB-C5 and also a new Futaba 3PK. The problem is you have a choice of 3PK with either HRS requiring digital servos or PCM so you can use none digital servos, what would guys recommend for buggy use before I place my order at RC-Mushroom.

Cheers

Mark

I own a 3PK and would reccomend PCM.
HRS might be a tad quicker, but it does limit your choice of servos.
I do have a digital servo for steering, but it's advised to use an analog servo for throttle/brake.

Thanks for the response BuLLdoGG, you confirmed pretty much what I thought.

Hi imaxx21,

What pipe are you running with that, is it better to go for a low end pipe?

my understanding of the 86 is that its a topend pipe??
yes it makes more overall torque than the 63 pipe but this is higher up in the rev range!
i use one on my 777 & mbx5 with a long manifold to get some bottom end punch back. RB now make an extra long header for those who need even more bottom :wink:

looks like on the RB site, the 086 is the low end

like i already stated earlier.
Yes the 86 pipe makes more torque BUT its higher up in the rev range! making it more of a topend pipe :roll:
if you search the RB forum you will be able to find Rodys explanation of this :wink:
