Hi everyone, I've been gathering information for my new build.
My goal is to order everything and build a fast basher. Speed is as important to me as a strong, premium build.
I have the following questions, followed by the links and recommended parts from various users which I've gathered.
I'd appreciate any feedback.

My goal is to order everything and build a fast basher. Speed is as important to me as a strong, premium build.
I have the following questions, followed by the links and recommended parts from various users which I've gathered.
I'd appreciate any feedback.
- The Max8s appear to be the most popular ESC. Does this handle 4s or 6s? or both?
- A variety of servos work but you must get the aluminum servo horn, correct?
- I didn't see anything specific re 6s batteries. I'd like this thing to fly so does a 6s battery fit in this to start? 2 x 3s? or start with 4s?
- I've had an number of pinions recommended. As long as the internal diameter fits the motor shaft (obviously), then does the mounting setup allow you to adjust so your pinion meshes correctly with the remaining stock gearing?
- Which pinion is going to give me the most power, without destroying something?
- Are any extra tools required for assembly? I have all the usual, excluding shock pliers (buying) and an impact drill (I have an electric driver). Otherwise I am set.
- I didn't see much re receivers. I have a basic Flysky FS-GT5 with no gyro. Is this okay https://www.amazon.com/Flysky-FS-GT5-Transmitter-FS-BS6-Receiver/dp/B07B2SVQ3M
- Is there anything else I must order now so that I don't sit here twiddling my thumbs waiting for parts?
