Orion have only had a few software revisions for the R10 over the last 3 years so it's hardly something to be concerned about IMO. Most of those were to fix bugs related to using 4 pole motors and 3s batteries which the speedy was not originally intended to use. Hardly a worry for the average 1/10th scale racer. I don't think the new software will be backwards compatible with the original version so likely reason why there is no download available. I was tossing up running Orca motors and speedies before they announced the 10.1. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these bad boys.
