ok thank you!

i dont think i can tell much difference in radios as for as latency on my home track. i have spectrum, team associated, duratrax rtr radios and flysky gt3c, sanwa mx-6 and they all feel the same to me as for as latency. but i can definitely tell a difference in servos. i think on low traction tracks like mine its not going to matter much. if i was Ryan Maifield then i could probably use my flysky gt3c and beat most people with a sanwa m17.

I posted the process of MT12 OLED_mod on my blog. Please take a look if you are interested. I don't think you can read the text, but I think you can understand what I'm doing just by looking at the photos and pictures.

I have attached the MT12 OLED version firmware that I am using, but I recommend that you self-build it using Gitpod.

You do mention all low spec radio's... You will feel a difference if you take a radio with a faster response.
Difference in servo's.... Of course you will notice a difference between a 0.15 sec and a 0.06 sec servo. Also the low budget 15 dollar Amazon servo's have a huge latency apart from the slow speed.

servos make the most difference radios the least. even low spec traxxas radios have pretty decent latency according to some youtube videos. i dont think going from 20ms to 5ms is going to matter much especially when you get 50 like me..lol. i just race at home with friends and grandkids so not gonna spend 500 on a radio to get 15ms faster.

ok thank you!

It all comes in the total package. With bashing on some large surface you will not notice a thing, racing high speed cars on a tight track you will notice any improvement of the car, servp and transmitter.The freamerate latency is the worse. With a frame of 20msec you do not have a steady 20msec but a variable 0-20msec. That can make you to get the apex right, fly over the dot or crash into the outside barrier. There is no building up of a rithm to drive with but more like a continuous correction.

trust me you wont know much of a difference on loose dirt. my track is not some carpet track or glued clay thats like pavement. it takes tons of throttle control on my tight loose track and i do get in a rhythm on my track. its about geting use to how your car feels and runs. i have slower servo cars and can still get good times with it after some practice laps. faster servos and radios is not going to make you a pro racer. practice can and does. years ago racers only had slow servos and radios. they were great racers still some of the best.

Trust me, I do know. When we have wet conditions there is also no grip with sliding cars all over the track, lucky I know how to drift.

dirt drifting is fun.

anyone know if it will bind with team associated receivers? or what protocol team associated uses?

In the receiver configuration (ER5C-i), there is the option to output on/off. Can I drive a pair of LED's off the signal pin? I can't find any documentation on it other than "switch on/off."

Do people unplug the li ions from the transmitter, like lipos, or can you just leave it plugged into the radio and charge when you need it?

i leave mine plugged in. i dont see any reason to unplug it. i use the radiomaster 5000mah li ion battery pack.

Will 4in1 works with Spektrum DSMR receivers?
