Exactly. I run the 0257s on my 48" Extra with the same BEC and I absolutely love them.

Found this on Youtube, made me laugh!

Not me I have issues with a mini savox. Emailed them and heard nothing back so its likely going in the trash.

Edit: Spoke to soon. Just heard from savox warranty. It's going back to the mother ship!

An external BEC, or BEC stabilizing receiver capacitor may be needed for efficient, glitch free operation in low voltage electric applications. " to me this sounds an awful like the bad days I had with my Spektrum 6xi some 7 years ago. Is anyone using these Savix mini digitals with an 8FG without problems?

I just redid mine and put the next size larger like Losi mentioned. They are 3/16 instead of 1/8. I got the big bag which came with the drill guide. It's a bag of 50 so if you need some let me know. I'll hook you up. I'll even send you the drill guide if you promise to send it back.

Hey guys if i run a omega 130 on 4s with a 12x6 prop can i use an ice lite 50(that's what i have) or will i need to get a bigger esc?

I just checked mine the other day on my SuperVyper with a Hacker 55a esc and was pulling right at 50amps. I would think you would be ok in the air.

I used the same setup for a while
I was pulling 52 amps max fully charged. I never had any problems.
It will dip below 50 rather quickly.

+2 the ice 50 will be just fine

if I was going to get cf tube to cover 4-40 threaded rod, would something like this with a .121" ID be the thing to get?

Sure, 4-40 is a nominal .112 inches in diameter.

That pic was with a 6 year old Sony Alpha 100, with a 12+ year old Minolta 75-300mm lens.

glass make all the difference, put a canon fd 50mm f1.4 on that sony 100
