ITEMS WE USED FOR OUR TEST
• ProTek RC 321B Samurai engine and pipe combo, PTK-2500-COMBO- This is one potent engine combo that is designed offer plenty of power and fuel economy in a racing buggy. The engine’s quality construction translates to an engine that can unleash power on demand and the 2060 pipe gives your racing machine that true nitro competition grunt.
• ProTek RC 7.4V LiPo receiver pack, PTK-LP-RX2300-L-2S- Since the servos are HV, it only made sense to install a LiPo pack to power them and ProTek offers plenty of LiPo receiver packs to fit many popular battery trays.
• ProTek RC 150T Servo, PTK-150T- For their price tag, these servos pump out a lot of performance backed by quality. The speed and torque of these servos is amazing and the cases are aluminum.
