Can someone answer these questions for me.

1. Is there any electrical do's and don'ts I need to know before I get underway updating my equipment?not really

2. Can I run a digital servo from my old 40Mhz Futaba FP-R103F (non PCM) receiver or do I need to update it?i would update to a digital hand set, some do some dont.

3. Can I run my old Tekin 411P with Lipo's but with an old style brushed motor or do I have to stick with the brushless and Lipo's together?you can but you'll need a lipo cut of switch

4. Are the 2.4Ghz systems now available better/faster than the old 40Mhz handsets now? better yes faster hmm debatable

5. I'm really prefer the stick controllers over the pistol/wheel transmitters of now a days, can someone recommend me a good, comfy, quality stick transmitter available to buy today?KO are great futaba or OK as well

Thanks for reading,

Cheers

Paul
