Not sure about your search skills. I see it listed under the F-22, F-4, Zeus, Eurofighter and F/A-18C... For some it's listed in both 6S and 8S versions and for some multiple paint schemes. Looks like it's out of stock though.

hey - the only ESC that has reversing on the parts page is the 6S 100amp (for 80mm). Evan said in a previous post that the new 90mm planes are supplied with a larger 120amp reversing ESC... but its not for sale separately - will it be for sale in the future?

f4u ausie and Evan D . Haven't pulled the ESC out to confirm yet with the holidays, but will next week. On the box and Improvement Notice inside, it "Claims" the ESC in the 8S version is 150 A reversing with 5A UBEC with the 12 blade 4075 1390 Kv inrunner. Also on the box it lists for the 6S version the 130A with 8A UBEC and the 9 blade 3672-1900 Kv inrunner. So we'll see.

Double check that ESC, 8s 120A reversing is the new one being put in all the 8S planes and the 90m 6S ones.

Obviously removing the decals is going to scar the base paint and I'm going with a different livery so hoping to paint over the Marines decals at least. I'll give the HD a try anyway, but sometimes ours is hit or miss and I'd like to at least have a starting point. Really wish they wouldn't do that!

Stuck in a standard size Spektrum analogue servo with gorilla glue....never a problem...survived everything I've thrown at it, trees ,bushes, ridiculously stupid landings (never pilot error) and even crashes but the servo is still working fine and looks as if it will out last me!!

I went with the MKS HV69 servo. Note: It is smaller in physical size, so you will need to cut out a piece of thin plywood or carbon sheet and make an adapter plate.
This servo has performed reliably in my P-38, F-4, and MiG-29 <crashed from alpha lock> planes over thousands of total flights. It has plenty of output torque for the F-4.

Not only did I change out the servo and pushrod, i added a servo support plate for a little added insurance (https://cults3d.com/:1034029). If you have access to a 3D printer, or someone that can print it for you, I would recommend the same. It was printed in ASA, light and strong.

Besides a solid pushrod/ball-joint connection, I would also check the oem elevator servo to foam glue joint. Notorious for getting wonky after a few flights.
