....What motor are you running on your Shogun/Zoom ?

[Hotshot Charlie]

Ok folks, since I am in the process of buying a brushless setup for my Shogun, I thought this might help me make a decision on what to buy.

I saw GJestico's Shogun fly this weekend. VERY impressive.

Not running anything right now as I'm just putting the Shogun together, but it's got a HA2025 in there now. Mac had everything I needed (and then some) except the LiPoly batteries and they probably will be at his place in a day or two and he is to ship them on to me. It's a 125 mile drive up to his place so it's not a trip you can make every day.

I'm an old timer from way back and Mac had a good laugh from my 20 year old JR Apollo and JR Mk VIII radios that I took up to have him look at. Also brought the place down when I asked if Kraft still made radios. So I've come back to Valdosta with a carload of stuff from Radio to CA.

Well you gotta start back somewhere I guess. I'll probably post a picture of the progress from time to time being that's what I do for a living. Nice site here and I've already gleaned a great deal to try and get myself up to speed again. Going to be fun unless my wife finds out how much I left at Mac's. It's great to see all the help that is freely given out here to us Nubies??
