Fantastic! :)

I'm just wondering if the new DSB-R+ is absolutely necessary to set up this new beast or if the "old" DSB-R can still do it...

I just bought one for use in my 22-4. by the manual and website. the Tuner box is not needed to set up and make adjustments unless you want to do boost and just a few other things. I have not run it yet but looking at the setup tables, there is a lot of variables available already.

not sure thats correct,when i got my 2/3 s version it was set up to run mod motors

When does this Esc come out?

and more to the point have they released an update for the preceding model?

Why update something that is already awesome? I doubt I'll upgrade to these as I've got over 2 years great service from my original R10.

Anyone using one of these yet?

I don't think they are released yet. I hear early summer is the release date......May or June.

Yah the original R10 was awesome. I own 4 and all 4 are flawless besides a capacitor case splitting apart on one of them. I couldn't be more happy with my r10's. I'm sure I'll buy 1 or 2 R10.1's down the road for my race vehicles...but definitely gonna be hard to beat the original.

..R10.1 will definitely get one or two!!

My local distributor told me that will be available on mid-May!:nod:

Cav testing
