540 Conversion Electronics
I am looking to get the Aktion 540 coversion for my RS4 and I was curious to see what other people were using. I do not have anything other than the car kit right now.
That means I am going to need:
-Motor
-Speed Control
-Batteries
My goal with the car is to make it pretty quick. I love the look of carbon fiber and aluminum contrast.
I have checked tower hobbies and ran a search on this message board. Any input as to whats good or places to research would be apreciated.

I have decided to put it off a little. I just got the car yesterday. So far it looks really good, but I need a speed control and a new radio. I am going to research out tonight what I want to get and then probably order it all tonight or tomorrow. I really want to do the 540 but to get an idea of how much faster it is I want to get the stock car running first. I'll post pics as I go though.

Ok I am going to be ordering my radio tonight. I am getting the Airtronics MX-A 2-Channel AM/1 94091Z/96305Z ESC 27MHz. Since it has the ESC with it I figured it could only help. Down the road when I start with all the 540 swap ill upgrade.

Sounds like a plan man........the esc that comes with the radio is made for 540 motors as well so i dont see why you should need to upgrade that.
