Yes!

If you want to match the "Tamiya" spec at speed reduction you will need some sort of calibration/setup routine. The mix of possibilities is quite a task so I didn't pursue it (personally I found the speed reduction annoying, before the hyped gearboxes so you could move after a few hits). Shoot until you die, then stay dead (why I have a push button reset).

I have a prototype setup for speed reduction but it varies with radio and ESC, so no consistency. If the market will allow some variance then I may pursue it, but no way for tight tolerances. I'm playing around with some programmed devices that may help, but that will be a while. I'm moving soon and have to set up shop, getting settled, yadda, yadda, yadda . . .

Blitz, thanks for the positive comments, glad you are happy.

Also please forward ideas for new projects (after the move of course)! When I'm not moving snow, chasing moose away from the house, walking the dog, chopping wood, cutting a path through our woods . . . . - I like a distraction!
