Thank you all so much for your advice. Never found a forum so full of knowledge and genuinely helpful information. I've decided to go for the M908A, simply because I like the length of the handrail as my first gun and everyone said that at the end of the day, just go for what you like the look of. Knowing that the stock will hold the bigger capacity batteries from the get go is a huge plus so thank you Rostok for that info.
Thanks to Rogerborg I know to go for the SkyRC S65 as a battery charger.
Can anyone recommend some batteries? I'll go for some 11.1 Lipo's. Which nunchuck batteries should I go for?
One final question about the gun itself. The gun that attracted me to the DE series in the first place was the M904H. I like the way that the suppressor was sunk into the handrail. Is this possible to do with the M908A and if so, is it simply a case of buying a special type of suppressor or would I have to change the barrel for a shorter one. Or would this not work at all because the handrail would be in the way.
Is there anything else I've missed out on in buying the gun. I will have the gun, batteries, a charger and BB's once I know what to get. Once I look at upgrading the internals I'll drop fatboy40 a message. He seems to know his stuff.
Thanks.
(Also, really enjoyed seeing all of your pictures. Your guns look ace.)
