What's the best aggressive 3d setup for this, also, is there an ETA for the red version?

What's the best aggressive 3d setup for this, also, is there an ETA for the red version?

The best "aggressive" 3D setup is the same one 3dhs, and most users always recommend:
A good motor, strong metal (titanium if possible) geared servos, and a beefy ESC to handle the juice.

My airplane has:
Motrolfly 4330
ZTW 120a ESC
4x Savox SC-1258TG servos.
LiFe Battery for radio/servo power
TailDragger RC servo extensions

Recommended Alternatives:
Castle Talon or Edge ESC
Castle BEC pro
Hacker Motor
Hitec HS-7955TG or HS-7985MG servos.

Maybe others can chime in with their setups as well

My setup.

Hacker A60-6xs, Castle ICE 100, G8 Thunder Power 45C 6S 5000mah packs.
OMG 20KG servos(not sure of the servo number), Castle BEC Pro, JR Powersafe/High current reciever.

Thanks! That motrofly is especially good to know, every one of them I've seen has been awesome. How well are those Savox's holding up? Worries me that they only have half the torque of the 7955TG's, but if they can take it, it's something to look into.

Thanks! Are there any problems with getting a neutral cg with the 6s 5000?

I'm using 6s5000, and have them slightly forward of neutral, and about 1.5" ahead of wing tube, so I think you'd have plenty of room to achieve neutral.

As for servos, the torque of the 7955 is way overkill on this plane. Ideal is 170+ oz/in. The advantage of the 7955 is that they can easily
"Move with you" up into a 50cc plane later.

The Savox I'm running are awesome.
Very fast, very precise, very durable.

Either one, Savox or Hitec, and you'll be happy!
