The advantage with a HW, SP or Orion LCD is they can be used with out a computer, they have input buttons for the base stuff, if you want "Turbo" need a computer.

Just loaded the Orion software, diff name on main screen, same interface. So it look$ like thi$ i$ an option al$o. $ = costs way more than HW or SP.

Something I was shown, that can be a BIG thing for some.

The HW, SP and Orion the esc plugs into the same end as the usb and IF you have BIG fingers, space isn't there.

With Castle and BH the esc and usb plug ins are on opposite ends of the link!

A good sell point for BH!

130ish is safe. You dont have to worry till you hit the 160-170 range. Then its time to worry.

its the new stock V3 software from HW. They have a new mod one also. If I want tot use the V2, I need to downgrade to v1, then use the BH software to get to v2. Since the V3 software only has the V1 and V3 firmware.

Loaded 508 mod software so I can use my 7.5 LRP in the SC10. Now I have "Blinky" that you can easily see! Before I had to take the esc out so tech could see the led blink!

The led in on the bottom of a SP GT2.0 LPF.
