I don't buy that anyone can tell the difference between 10ms and 40ms anyway.
In real cars with automatic "manual transmissions", I can tell the difference between 10 ms and 80 ms.

That being said, I really can't tell much if any difference running dirt. But 1/8th onroad and especially 1/12th, yes it matters.
Want to see the difference of a few ms for yourself? Get a wired Xbox controller and one of those golf games where you have to hit the button at a specific time to hit the shot (or any other game like that). Play it with the wired controller until you have mastered it, then switch to wireless. You will suck at it for a while.
Wow... great point. But in this case, there's no "servo" actuating the golf swing.
One other point I wanted to make was that the new Airtronics M12 is like $600 with $100 receivers... While I'm a darn good driver, I DO NOT have any aspirations to go real racing and can justify that price. Turnigy has a 2.4GHz transmitter for $36 with $6 receivers and can accommodate 10 cars... Umm.... that's one heck of a price swing.
So if the KO Propo and Airtronics have that much of a latency advantage, then I'm wondering why don't all the pros run them?
