      Nice mate nice one thing I noticed is you are Goin to use a talon 90
      I had got one for my gobby and I found I had it struggle. It ran real hot
      Coming down with the speedy beeping the overheating alarm I personally would urge
      you to consider another speedy.

      Okay, thanks for the info mate, she's paid for now so ill run it for the first few flights but will definitely monitor it closely! The reason for choosing was just that it is suggested in gobby specs and is a good price! but thanks for letting me know

      What Headspeed were you running mate?

      Ill make sure to upgrade speedy as soon as I get the chance to avoid a esc failure that could result in a crash! :p

      I was running 2400 and 2500. One other thing I also did was opened up the hole in the bottom of the canopy
      To help the speedy get a little more air that helped a lot to mate.

      Hey snowy he is only asking $250 the cc is about $200
      Or so just wait an extra week or so you won't regret it dude I got one in mine and its shiz hot. Barley even gets warm and the motor goes harder. Like I said you won't regret it just be patient.
