This is one I keep forgetting to put in here but one of the best mods available.

http://www.overkillrc.com/ hacks gt3b radios into doing pretty much anything you could want.
Most importantly, to me atleast, mixing dual esc's just like a 4pk/pl!

But for very very very little money!
losikid, member here, is the genius behind this.

There are also other mods for it other than the hack!
