RE: x230 Mini Quadcopter
Hobby King comes to the rescue with their [link=http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__27195__Atmel_Atmega_Socket_Firmware_Flashing_Too l.html]Atmel Atmega Socket Firmware Flashing Tool[/link]. No longer do you have to make your own claw tool or deal with an ESC without pads (like above). Mine should arrive in a few weeks and we'll compare the new Multistar ESC performance with the "Simonized" Blue Series ESCs.
