just thinking of picking up an cheap gun and was going to get someone to whack some parts in, AOE/Sorbo and mosfet. Crawley surplus have a 6 week wait as the tech is going away.
As long as you don't go too nutz a stock gun will be fine for a little while until you can get it tweaked properly. trigger contacts should be fine for Mall unless you run 11-14 lipo's 65c. Up to 20c 11.1v for a little while should be ok
