Avanti S V2

This week we discuss the upgrades to the Avanti S version 2. One of our listeners, Scott, purchased an Avanti S from motion RC and had it shipped to AZ Mikes place for a quick build and set up. After opening the box and putting it all together we noticed a few upgrades from version one. After a little research it has come to our attention that there have been several upgrades to this version over the last, all of which are excellent. AZ Mike walks us through the upgrades and the simplistic build of the PNP version.
