Now Christmas is done, I took the time to choose a decent steering servo. After careful consideration - I've gone with an AGF 81BHMW. At £84, this is far from a budget option - but the spec and waterproof design appeals over the Protek 170 SBL at £150.
Receiver had to be FASST compatible - very difficult to source now. The only receiver I could find is the Frsky TRF6 - which is a 7 channel receiver. TRF4's no longer exists. Why?
The TRF6 fits in the box on the chassis and is cheaper than the TRF4. Twin diversity aerial needs more than 1 aerial tube, ideally mounted at 45°. This is fairly straightforward to organise on an airframe - but not so easy within the confines of a Bruggy body.
I'm looking at all manner of 3D printed mounts and drone aerial mounts - but I haven't settled on a solution, yet. It still needs some thought. The aerials need to be arranged nearly, optimally and away from the motor and ESC.
However, good diversity aerial arrangement will help with range on speed runs.
