[Heli 66]

This is a question for all you guys that have way more exp than me. Putting together my Esky E-smart 600 (550) and i got this small list of parts from another E-mart owner and was wondering you more experienced guys thoughts.

ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 6S1P 25C

Hobbyking YEP 80A (2~6S) SBEC Brushless Speed Controller

Hitec HS-422 Deluxe servo 3.3kg/45g/0.21sec

Hobby King 401B AVCS Digital Head Lock Gyro

Still need to find a decent inexpensive tail servo.

The only thing I can make any comments on are the battery and ESC. That ESC has been widely recommended on this site. Just ensure that you get one that will handle the amps. The battery would look at the turnigy brand or gensace.

Battery is ok.
ESC is very good.
Servos seem a little slow and not much torque, but they'll do the job.
The gyro is a piezo, old and outdated. There are much better options out there. Look for a mems gyro like the Align GP 750/780 or 790 or Spartan Quark. Or if you want to stick with HK and want something that will work better then the HK401 but not as good as the others i mentioned, then the Assan GA250 will do.
