How will firmware be uploaded onto the ESC? I havent seen a picture with a USB port or anything like that.

It must be on the left side. I dont think Ive seen a picture of that side of it. Im surprised they could both keep it small and have a USB connection on it.

Bluetooth software upgrades would be cool. You could have your pit guy make adjustments wirelessly during a race . Too bad the range probably wouldnt be long enough.

The HotWire is the computer to ESC connection we have. The way it plugs into the ESC is through the radio wire plug. The other end is standard USB to plug into the computer. No extra weight or size added to the ESC!

That is by far the best way to connect yet. Even the small USB connection on others adds size and extra parts to the case. NICE!

I like the idea of the Hotwire using the receiver plug instead of USB.

I guess this prediction was wrong. Hopefully it is getting close though.

As we all know, you only need one part of a process to become problematic and it halts or slows things down. Not good, but neither is a product that is manufactured but known as possibly failing.

The final product will be out when all is good.

i'd rather wait for a product that is right than receive a product with faults...
