DC electric motors are easy. Wire the positive to one terminal and negative to the other. If motor spins the wrong direction, switch the wires. Very easy to sort out.

I don’t think there is much of a difference between the transmissions other than capability. Personally, I’d find a 2spd transmission without reverse. The reverse just adds weight. You might...

If more power is what you’re after, I’d suggest doing some testing with your fuel, glow plug, and prop. Adding nitro, reducing prop load, and cooling the plug down will usually net more power, to a...

A fuel pump isn’t going to increase top end power. It might even things out from full tank to empty, but that’s about it. If you need a boost in top end power, dump the Saito and get a YS.

I would entertain trying RCBearings.com instead. I’ve never had an issue with their bearings, and they’re usually cheaper than Boca (Boca and OS to hand in hand for being overpriced IMHO).
