RE: SLU (No Problems)
You will be happy to know I helped out with a recent German manufacturer getting into the game and convinced him Tamiya apple compatibility was important. So look for one more system to be hitting the market. THis is a full blown system wiith Highpower ESC that uses the Benedini TBS just like the DBC and RX18 do, and you will have the option to plug your Tamiya apple into it.
THe market is getting really crowded with lots of choices, and I am on a bit of a crusade to get manufacturers to realize we need some crossover compatibility otherwise too much choice is going to be a bad thing. So far I have been successful in getting two new players to realize this importance. This German one that is already released in Europe, and another one still on the drawing board.
