I see a new radio in the not too distant future capable of handling 4 temp sensors at once. And while I've been a fan of both Futaba and Spektrum, prices have become ridiculous.
When I take the back off, I'll shoot some photos. Will probably be a month or so, have to do some business traveling so hobby stuff is on hold for a few weeks. So far, I'm really impressed. Love the wide open programming. No more of the "you can do it any way you want, as long as it's the way we want you to do it" programming from Spektrum / Futaba. And none of the silly wifi / network / internet stuff. To me that's just bells and whistle marketing gimmics.
Big picture though, all the stuff today is likely manufactured in China ... it wouldn't surprise me if they're both made in the same plant on separate lines.
