I've been doing some reading on the Servonaut products and I was looking for more information, from guys who have these units installed in their models. I don't quite understand all of the functions and was wondering if someone could explain them better. I'm looking at their ESCs, sound units, and light control modules. Trying to figure out what I need, or don't need.

From what I gather, the SMX and SMT are the two sound units offered. Seems the SMX has more then one engine sound available for it, plus the turbocharger whistle, I would want. The SMX is a better version of the SMT, which has no turbo whistle. My question is do you have to run the SMX with a Servonaut speed controller? It almost looks like you have no choice. Does the SMX come with a speaker? It doesn't look like it does not.

That brings me to the ESCs. Two versions, the S20, and the M20+. From what I gather, the S20 has brake lights and backup light functions. The M20+ has those functions also, plus headlights, signal lights, and hazzard flashers. The M20+ seems to have a different type of operation. Like a cruise control of sorts? It mentions the model maintaining speed if the throttle stick is released to nuetral? Can someone explain how that works? I'm used to letting go of the throttle and a model coasting to a stop. How does the SM20+ brake and reverse? Seems like the S20 has none of the cruise control features, correct? While the S20 does not have the extra light functions, I can add them with a ML4 mini light module, and have basically the same light controls as the M20+, but without the ESC cruise control of the M20+? How do you guys like the M20+ control? Is it hard to get used to? Is there a way cruise control can be turned off, so it functions like a normal fwd/neutral/brake/reverse ESC?

The light module, the ML4 is pretty straight forward to understand. If one buys the S20 ESC, and adds the ML4, then you have all the same light output functions of the M20+. Does anyone know what the voltage output is of the ML4? They say it can be run on up to 24 volts, but the ESCs are only able to handle 12 volts. On the light output functions, if you run 12 volt battery packs, then I assume the voltage available for lights is also 12 volts?

I'm thinking I like the S20 because it lacks the cruise control functions, then I would add an ML4 light module to get the other light functions, and go with an SMX sound unit. Basically giving me the same as an M20+ and an SMX sound unit, correct?

What are you guys running for Servonaut products and how do you like them? Which units are you using in your models? If somone could explain how all this stuff works, I'd appreciate it. I'm not to good at German, and the translated English discriptions still seem a little confusing because of the wording.
