Default eco 8 question

what kind of radio will i need to control an eco 8, and what kind of electronics? it appears to be 540 powered and sub c cells, but correct me if this is wrong. I guess i can use an astro flight esc and mini servo sets?

You will need a minimum 4 channel radio 8 C cells and a good ESC.

If you are starting out with the eco 8, use the e ccpm mixing much easier than mechanical mixing.
Therefore you need a radio capable of 90 deg ccpm mixing.

that is the place to go for help
