I can pick up a 550 very cheap. Are the servo's and ebar throw aways

I don't use the ebar because I already had a beastX. Most of the people I know with the innova 550 use the ebar, haven't heard any complaints. Everyone I know with the innova 550 still uses the stock servos, they seem fine for the job and are cheap to replace if the worst should happen!

I fly the 550 95% stock with the combo kit servos and E-Bar. I'm totally happy no issues at all.

Just note that those servos are very power hungry. I can get the 3 swash servos to pull 10+ amps simply by applying pressure to the swash with my hand. All that this means is that if you use a BEC, it must be able to deliver 10 amps, or if you use a receiver pack, size it accordingly. I put 280 mAh back into my receiver pack after a single 6 minute flight, so I can only safely do 4 flights on a 1400mAh LiFe pack.

Oh and the other thing. The included BEC is rated to 3S only, so it's useless for this purpose.
