No more picking and choosing this over that since this radio will be able to lock/unlock diffs, engage/disengage dig, shift, operate lights (possibly no more light kits since this radio should be able to control them individually), AWS, and whatever other things people come up with.
Pretty soon RC surface racers will be controlling their cars/trucks while sitting at their pit table and hiring a spotter to stand on the driver stand.
Please no. If I wanted to drive my vehicle looking at a screen, I'd play a video game.

Push to pass is already possible on other radios, it requires an ESC with the feature (Dash and Team Powers come to mind) and the feature is illegal for blinky racing. Without ESC support there's nothing the radio can do to get more power.
