Can I dig up a 2 year old thread too ? :?
If you ask a well written and relevant question, sure go ahead. Yes the thread is old, but that seems like an intelligent question to me.

I do agree, yet, better still, he could of created a new thread much easier. And besides, I'm sure the same question has been answered lots on lots of forums, I can personally say it's one of the top 20 questions asked about xmods, along with "will a 6th cell fry my xmod" and "can I use a hobby grade TX"

A little searching will get you your answer.

As for the question, yea, it can be done, I used a cheap micro servo (can't remember the brand) along with a Venom Mini Giant RX/ESC combo,though you'd be better off using a MR-01 board, with a servo wired in. :-o

While you did bring a really old thread up, at least you used decent punctuation/spelling (quantum and receiver are spelled wrong), so I guess I'll answer it.

With the receiver, I'd recommend going with a stock AE RC18T receiver. It's cheap, works decently, and is compact. If you do not have a hobby-grade radio, you will need one. As far as the ESC goes, I'd recommend the Novak Spy ESC or the Novak Micro GT ESC, because both are very small, and every millimeter counts. As far as servos go, you will have a tough time due to the intergrated servo on the evo's frame. If you do design a way to get by it, use a hitec HS50 servo.

it shows that someone's done their research and it saves us having multiple threads about the same thing :-o
