I can see the advantages of higher model memory can save different configurations for the same vehicle but with different track conditions, 250 may be a little overkill but better than not enough lol, would really like to see some info on the android system ie can you down load apps, have spreadsheets on there, or some kind of set up sheet that is editable so you would always have access to set up info and change that around. that I think would be cool as hecka

There is nothing at this time. It will be coming with a 4000mah battery which is a LOT of juice for a system such as this. As soon as I have the opportunity I will try to get this data. Keep in mind, while at anywhere with power, there is a nice docking cradle that you will always set your radio back in to keep it topped off.

Cant wait till they release this pig
Also cant believe people are starting to try and compare a product that is not even out yet to others... Really. How's that Mars mission going for ya

Will the charging cradle work with the radio laid down on its side or will it need a rubber band to hold them together?

The cradle is meant for the radio to stand up in it to use up less pit space. If you dont want to use the cradle, you can just charge through the USB port on the actual radio itself.

When are we going to start seeing more pictures or maybe a video of the remote?

As far as I know, only the SR2000 works on 5.5 ms,and even then only 2 channels are working when it is meaning steering and throttle. You can still use other channels for BEC's transponders, etc.

At some point, we all need to have a discussion on what 5.5ms actually means, lol. I think some other manufacturers have caused some serious confusion as their marketing folks have used this number maybe not so accurately.
I guess I have a second to explain right now before the questions come.
When we (Spektrum) talks about frame rate, we are referring to the time between the receiver and lets say the servo. We are NOT referring to the time between the transmitter and the receiver. We at spektrum believe that the time between the transmitter and receiver should always have the lowest latency possible. We are at or faster than any other radio on the market in this regard today. The only reason we have a frame rate you can set is because some servos or equipment simply cannot handle that speed. They almost get confused. Take an older analog servo, if you plug that in to our radio system as 5.5ms, it goes crazy most of the time. Therefore, we allow you to slow it down to a speed it can handle.
What other manufacturers use in their "marketing" message is that frame rate equals faster. Well, yes and no. They talk about frame rate for them as the processing between the radio and the receiver (at least many of them do). So, comparing them to us with these numbers is like comparing apples and hamsters...not a good comparison.
So, please just understand, sometimes in any industry, you can see numbers that should be one to one, but they are not. That is why we always do all of our own bench testing versus just looking at numbers. And when it comes to radios, latency is king. The lower the better.

We are currently working on that to see if it is possible. I would like it to be but that doesnt just make it so, lol. There is a good chance they will be 5.5ms for sure when used in 2 channel, but not sure if you can do that and still get the telemetry data in when needed.
