I'm wanting to put together a foamie for laughs and to mix things up. However I'm running up a big bill quickly for just a messing-around-with flyer.

foamie 25
esc 30
motor 35
rx -$70 - OUCH
servos $15/ea
lipo - 35


The electronics (Rx, xtal and servos) are costing me! Is there a cheaper rx/servos set that will work with my Fut 9C tx than the more expensive futaba stuff I have priced?

I wanted to get everything I needed for less thatn $150. Are there other areas to cut cost above?

thanks.

I have some VERY competitive prices on motors, ESCs, servos, and lipos :)
