but they will provide you with a good, proven starting point.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
The Wattage Crazy Max EP is a high-performance, aerobatic electric-powered model. When choosing accessories like
servos, ESC, and receiver, it's very important to take the weight of these items into consideration. Remember, the lighter
the overall weight of the finished airplane, the better the airplane will perform.
Servos
The servos you use should be the lightest available, yet still have an adequate amount of torque. We suggest using servos
that weigh no more than 0.19 ounces and have a torque rating of no less than 7.0 ounces per square inch.
Receiver
The receiver should be as light as possible, preferably 1/2oz. or less. Most four channel micro receivers will be a good
choice. If you plan on using the Hitec 555 Micro receiver, we suggest removing the case to reduce the receiver's weight.
If you do remove the case from your receiver we strongly suggest wrapping the receiver with heat-shrink material to
protect the internal components.
Special Note for Receiver:
If you plan on using two separate aileron servos so you can have mixing capabilities, make sure the receiver you
choose supports the mixing capabilities of your transmitter. Most 4 channel receivers don't, so you'll have to use a six
or more channel receiver. If it has a case, remove it to save weight.
Electronic Speed Control
The ESC you choose should be capable of handling no less than 15 amps continuous current. Again, lighter is better.
Your ESC should weigh no more than 1 ounce including the wiring and switch.
Special Note for ESC
Most 15amp ESCs don't support the use of more than three servos. If you use four servos in your Crazy Max you
should use a 30amp ESC. The added weight will be minimal.
Flight Battery
For the best flight performance the battery used should be an 8 cell 800Mah 5/4AAA NiMH pack. You can use NiCD
batteries but they are heavier and you won't get as long a flight time. NiMH batteries don't give quite as much power, but
still plenty for the Crazy Max and, most importantly, they are lighter and give significantly more flight time.
