I am looking forward to getting the hardware. Will keep an eye out for further announcements.
Also, I came to really like the KV2 as a prototyping tank - Erik you should sell a kv lower half w/4:1 gearbox as a robotics platform.
I was thinking the new Leopard lower chassis instead
It is much stronger and will provide a much more stable platform for components to be mounted or an "upper hull" type body/cover. I have already thought of this and the lower hull will be offered in a few different variants. It will have the 4:1 and probably 390 motors too.

What 'standard' set-up is configured 'from the factory' without computer tweaking?
Well since it supports a wide array of stuff nothing is default out of the box. However as mentioned earlier a preset could be loaded and then you would only have to assign your sticks. People could setup a preset section for others and share configurations including audio later down the road. Stick assignment takes around 2-3m max (for 16ch) and is done 100% on the app, no need to adjust trim or endpoints on the radio.
