Questions & Answers
The spec advises a 7.4v 1500mah battery.
This model uses an XT60 connector.
Yes this battery RDNB14002S30XT60
and this tx/rx FS-I4X-A6M2
and any lipo charger that will do 7.4v like this ET0223

This has an XT60 connector.
The spec states up to 1500mah 2s lipo - it comes with an XT60 connector so I would look at something like this: RDNB14002S30XT60
Yes it will work with pretty much any flight transmitter and receiver.
Yes this will have motor ESC and servos pre fitted, I have changed the listing to show this.
