To smoothly twist on the twist hubs! We made this out of laser cut nylon. Needle nose pliers are another (more scrapey) option.

You will need a BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) to lower the voltage of your lipo (12V or 16V) down to a safe value for your receiver (5V) and possibly a weapon servo.
Add a Receiver:
The Flysky receiver is intended for the Flysky FS-i6 and other AFHDS 2A transmitters, please check your transmitter supports this before purchasing.

Great kit, simple enough to be able to get my head around for a first build!
Jimmi Cottam (verified owner) –
Super convenient and super affordable. Definitely grab a set or two as they’re handy to have, especially when you need spares. Quick delivery too!
Jack (verified owner) –
Awesome kit for building a beetle. Enough to get a good start on the electronics without pigeonholing you into a set build/design.
Can’t recommend enough!
