What Else Do I Need? 

Sub-Micro Servos (3)

Any 4 to 6 gram servo will work well.  Weight is important.  GWS Pico servos fit cutouts precisely. 

ESC (Electronic Speed Control) 

Castle Creations' Phoenix-10 or new Thunderbird-9 for brushless motors offer a cut-off voltage designed to protect your LiPoly battery from being over-discharged.

Motor

SLICK was designed specifically for the new breed of inexpensive brushless CD-ROM motors.  Exceptionally small and light-weight, these motors provide better than 2-to-1 thrust-to-weight without a gear box.  Since SLICK uses the standard IPS-size motor stick, many power options will work well, including the GWS IPS-DXA on 2-cells or IPS-DXC on 3-cells.  Keep the power unit under 30 grams for best results.

LiPoly Battery & Charger

Lithium Polymer batteries should be used to power your SLICK.  Match your battery with the current requirements of your motor, and keep it light-weight.  Our 340-2S, 450-2S, and 700-2S lipoly batteries are excellent choices.  Expect 11-minute flights on the 450-2S and 24-minutes on the 700-2S, doing all-out aerobatics the whole flight.

Finishing

We use permanent marker pens for a visible and light-weight color.  Let your imagination run wild!
