Yep, that's the one - #80750. Mine came from Cory at HobbyRoom.ca in Edmonton.

Very slick unit:

Here's why I think it's a step ahead right now:

- Switching from brushed to brushless motors is trivial. Just hook up the output wires to the motor and the rest takes place automatically no weird wiring changes, setup, etc.
- LiPo cutoff mode on/off. They say it's automatic, but I like it OFF if I know I'm running NiMH just so there's no confusion
- Built in temp monitor - can tell you how hot it got during your run

Add in the feel of the system, braking and acceleration are both very smooth, and I think it's a winner. On it's maiden run here, the controller stayed very cool driving the X11 4.5 run after run. No complaints.

Only downside is that it's sensored only, but I really don't think that's much of a limitation right now as all of the mainstream motors are sensored.

Thumbs up!
