Thanks for the update, what is the price point for these going to be?
It better be half price of the competition, as not having built in sound and ESC is a real draw-back.
Most people want to plug and play, not have to hook up a computer and do some firmware programming.
Having a product (like Tamiya) that requires NO external devices to program is wonderful. Please consider on board set-up as an option - like dip switches or a 'Sherman' or 'Tiger' set-up module or SD card to plug in.
I'm setting up a unit right now with USB cables to my computer, software to download and install, firmware to update/load and jumpers to the radio equipment and a billion programming screens to navigate through. Its a real pain when most of us want to turn it on and go.
When you are out battling, you absolutely do not want to have to drag your laptop to re-program anything if event rules or completion parameters are different from programming.
