I can see the FS-iT4 4 does have some cool features

Lets compare durability

A ipod or iphone can be fitted with a Griffen survivor case thats rated to a 3 story fall.
and i know from experance that the TQi can easly take falls from 5 foot

only time will tell how the FS-iT4 4 will go from a 5 foot fall.

because the TQi is 3 seperate parts (controller, base & ipod/iphone) repair costs are cheaper. Ipod replacement screen & Digitizers are only $21 for a set

In terms of telemerty traxxas are years a head with there customizable gauges, scales, pictures, units, customizable dashboard, audiable alarms, average, low, max, current readings, option to record telemerty with audio, ability to expand to run additional sensors and even a real GPS
