I just want something on the smaller side (I've been using these ego nova and small batteries) that has a little power but I'm not trying to blow clouds and I need to keep it under 75$ for a tank and battery. Could someone post some good set ups?
Why do you not like the Ego Nova?
The istick Pico kit with the Melo III tank would be a nice little kit with a removeable battery. You can find the full kits for $35-$50 depending on the store and sales.
If you go with a removeable battery set, you would need to invest a bit more in some good batteries and a safe charger for them. The charger and batteries would probably work with anything else you get down the road, but they will cost you a bit more than the $75 if you want all at once.
